Application Traffic Management System
Today’s fast-moving enterprise relies on wide-area networks (WANs)
to connect employees, customers, partners, and vendors. Are the
WANs up to the challenge? As increasing amounts of e-mail, peer-to-
peer traffic, and Web browsing consume WAN bandwidth, enterprise
IT managers struggle to keep business-critical applications such as
enterprise resource planning (ERP), customer-relationship
management (CRM) and Voice-over-IP (VoIP) running at acceptable
levels of performance. Adding bandwidth is a short-term solution:
Traffic inevitably grows until performance again becomes an issue. 
Packeteer’s Application Traffic Management System gives IT
managers a powerful, flexible tool that monitors, controls, and
accelerates WAN traffic based on business priorities. Packeteer helps
enterprises ensure their WANs deliver optimal performance, enhance
productivity and provide a competitive advantage.
