N+I Booth no. 1214
ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 16, 1999--
Data Communications and InternetWeek Editors Name
PacketShaper with Web-enabled Host Access
Best of Show in Network Security and
Performance Category
Packeteer, Inc. (Nasdaq:PKTR) today announced that the company's
PacketShaper with web-enabled host access support was named Best of
Show at Network+Interop 99 in the network security and performance
category by CMP's Data Communications and InternetWeek editors.
PacketShaper with web-enabled host access support was announced
in August, 1999. This new software, part of Packeteer's core
PacketWise software technology, is designed to ensure the performance
of mission-critical host and e-business applications over enterprise
wide area networks and the Internet by providing SNA-like quality of
service in IP networks (SNA is IBM's System Network Architecture). As
a result, the time-sensitive, transaction-based applications used in
industries such as retail, finance, and airlines can move to IP
networks and still achieve the same level of quality of service (QoS)
previously available only through their SNA networks.
The Best of Show Product Awards Program is designed to help
end-users evaluate the new product offerings which debut at
NetWorld+Interop 99Atlanta. The editors of Data Communications and
InternetWeek, two of CMP Media's premier networking publications,
scour the industry and show floor evaluating hundreds of new products,
selecting finalists that have unique or value-added product solutions.
"This industry award underscores how Packeteer's innovative
products are enabling Internet-driven businesses and service
providers," said Todd Krautkremer, vice president of marketing,
Packeteer. "Our rich classification of TN3270 and web-to-host flows
and TCP Rate Control technology form the foundation for PacketShaper
with web-enabled host access support. This new offering delivers
policy-based SNA-like application QoS to IP networks, eliminating a
critical barrier to realizing reliable, deterministic performance of
e-business and other transaction-oriented, host-based applications
over IP-based infrastructures."
"All of the winners were chosen based on a rigorous evaluation
process," said Lee Keough, editor-in-chief for Data Communications and
head of the editorial judging team for the Best of Show Awards. "We
picked Packeteer's PacketShaper with web-enabled host access support
because we believe it's one of the most innovative solutions in the
network security and performance category."
