Unmatched auto-detection of both applications and Web content categories makes it a complete visibility and control solution for today’s Web-heavy traffic. It measures network application performance, categorize and manage Web traffic based on its content, guarantee QoS for preferred applications and content, and contain the impact of undesirable traffic.

Visibility

The PacketShaper can classify more than 700 pre-defined applications on your network with Layer 7+ technology, which automatically identifies applications and allows you to separate business from recreational apps. It also has a vast capability for building custom classes based on vlan, mpls tag, various qos/cos fields, and many custom based on application.

Traffic Shaping

Guarantee bandwidth for latency-sensitive applications, assign priorities to applications and Web content categories, and contain the impact of lower-priority traffic using flexible policy-based control. Using TCP rate control, acknoledgment delay and other techniques, a Packetshaper is the industry leader is re-shaping your bandwidth to benefit yoru business applications..

Compression

Quickly increase WAN capacity, improving application performance and user response times with Blue Coat's application intelligent Compression Module. Reduce bandwidth usage and minimize WAN latency using the optimal compression algorithm for each application, while ensuring that added capacity from virtual bandwidth goes to the highest priority applications.

Acceleration

Use acceleration to fully utilize bandwidth on high latency environments and to improve application performance on your network. This technology overcomes the limitations of the TCP/IP window size which inherently creates a delay on latent links. Using standards such as XTP the acceleration feature provides throughput that are simply not possible without it.

Hardware Extensions
