Procera Networks Introduces New OptimIP Application Accelerator

Intelligent Network Appliance Delivers up to 20 Times More Throughput At One Third the Price of Conventional Bandwidth Management Systems

CAMPBELL, Calif., Jan 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Procera(r) Networks, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: PRNW - News), a pioneering developer of optimized network security and compliance systems, announced the new release of its OptimIP Application Accelerator, the first non-intrusive, wire-speed intelligent network overlay appliance that enables guaranteed quality of service, reduced latency and efficient use of bandwidth on internal LAN-based networks.

"Procera's intelligent network appliance gives us the visibility and control inside our network that we need to make the best use of our existing networks, bandwidth and equipment," said Bill Roach, executive director of IT for Spartanburg Methodist College. "The OptimIP appliance installed in less than an hour and works with all of the LAN/WAN equipment we already had in place."

The wire-speed OptimIP Application Accelerator optimizes existing bandwidth without introducing latency or requiring a box at each end of a site-to-site connection. The appliance works with and alongside WAN network optimization and bandwidth-management systems to enable IT groups to transparently control overall quality of service, bandwidth reservation, rate limiting and prioritization policies on internal LAN and campus networks. The OptimIP Application Accelerator:

• Ensures timely delivery and consistent network performance for latency-sensitive applications, such as VoIP and video streaming
• Optimizes applications that are particularly dependent on bandwidth contention, such as ERP, database, Citrix and any Web-enabled or IP-based application
• Prioritizes the use of personal applications, such as Webmail and instant messaging
• Enables existing networks to transparently scale up for new applications and intensified usage, particularly on converged topologies

"The OptimIP Application Accelerator can handle more than 20 times the throughput of a conventional WAN bandwidth management system at less than one third the price of today's popular network optimization appliances," said Gary J. Johnson, senior vice president of sales and marketing for Procera Networks. "Using the OptimIP Application Accelerator, IT groups and their solution providers can finally regain control over bandwidth-usage, latency and mission-critical application performance on their business networks."

Procera's OptimIP Application Accelerator provides LAN/WAN bandwidth management through rate limiting with granular flow control down to 64 Kbit increments, eight priority queues and managed bandwidth for latency- and congestion-sensitive applications, quality of service (QoS) compatible with 802.1p, TOS, and DiffServ QoS topologies, and per-port and per-flow expert policy control -- all easily configurable from a graphical dashboard.
