PacketShaper 10000 Copper GigE 2000
Packeteer appliances fit seamlessly into your IP network, whether you rely on frame-relay, MPLS, IP-VPN, ATM, point-to-point, or wireless WAN or Internet links. Multiple deployment options enable you to quickly gain visibility and get control over application performance.
Scalable - Packeteer appliances provide several performance and price points to meet your deployment requirements. 1200, 1500, 2500, 6500, 9500, and 10000 series range from 128 Kbps to 1 Gbps full duplex throughput.
Simple Deployment - Packeteer appliances install easily behind the WAN or Internet access router. After supplying basic IP configuration information (IP Address, gateway, DNS server, etc), turn on Auto-discovery to immediately begin discovering, classifying and measuring traffic.
Transparent to Existing Infrastructure - The appliance operates as an in-line bridge, transparent to your router, switch, and application infrastructure. Packeteer does not require (but does support) mirror ports or taps, and does not require changes to your routing tables or application infrastructure.
Flexible Topology Fits for Multiple LAN and Switched Environments - LAN Expansion Modules (LEM) are available on 2500, 6500, 9500, and 10000 series models. You can utilize LEM cards to connect multiple LANs or switch ports to a single appliance, including DMZ configurations, providing extra flexibility for today's complex switched networks.
High Availability - In the event of failure, automatic hardware bypass prevents Packeteer appliances from blocking traffic. In addition, two appliances can be configured in Direct Standby mode, with each appliance maintaining state on all flows, and providing shaping and monitoring redundancy for all traffic. Finally, access link monitoring enables automatic adjustment of policies when a backup link is activated and active adjustment of traffic rates based on link congestion.
