PACKETEER 'Turning bandwidth into business'
  Packeteer was founded in 1995 to develop products that address the severe problems related to increasingly congested bandwidth resources on enterprise wide area networks (WANs) and the Internet. This congestion has led to widespread dissatisfaction among end users as well as corporate management frustrated by poor application performance. The company's award-winning PacketShaper family of bandwidth-management devices lets network managers and service providers set and enforce policies to control network traffic, ensuring that networks deliver predictable performance for mission-critical applications. More than 3000 PacketShaper units have been installed worldwide. (Source:Company Website)
