PacketShaper Deployment
PacketShaper is the ultimate scalable platform for optimized WAN application performance—the only all-in-one solution for extending monitoring, shaping, acceleration and compression as well as centralized reporting and management across the distributed enterprise.
Scalable
PacketShaper is available in a variety of performance and price points to meet deployment requirements.
Simple Deployment and Auto-Discovery
PacketShaper is easy to install and works immediately once deployed to discover, classify and measure traffic.
Transparent to Existing Infrastructure
Operates as an in-line bridge, transparent to your router, switch and application infrastructure.
Flexible Topology
Support for multiple LAN and switched environments with LAN Expansion Modules (LEM) available for connecting multiple LANs or switch ports to a single appliance, including DMZ configurations.
High Availability
Automatic hardware bypass, Direct Standby mode and access link monitoring prevent traffic blocks from occurring in the event of failure and provide automatic adjustment of policies when a backup link is activated and active adjustment of traffic rates based on link congestion.
Main Site Internet Link Deployment
PacketShaper monitors and shapes traffic flowing through Internet service links, enabling you to view link usage, design application-based protocols and protect VPN and other Internet traffic that is backhauled through the corporate WAN.

Main Site WAN Link Deployment
In hub-and-spoke topology where application traffic flows to and from multiple sites through a single, central "hub" site, PacketShaper solutions provide network-wide application performance and ensure QoS at all locations.

Distributed Branch Deployment
In a distributed branch topology where applications are distributed to multiple main sites or branch offices, PacketShapers solutions can be deployed at multiple locations to monitor and shape meshed application flows and provide compression.
