Loyola College Deploys Packeteer Platform to Manage Bandwidth

Packeteer, a provider of wide area network application delivery systems, has announced that Loyola College in Maryland, has migrated to its PacketShaper 10000 platform in preparation for network upgrade that could quadruple bandwidth to as much as 500 Mbps.

The college will rely on the PacketShaper 10000 and Packeteer’s strategy of Intelligent Service Assurance to manage and assure performance for its mix of application services, including streaming media-based academic content, administrative functions and bandwidth-intensive recreational traffic.

Patrick Donohue, network systems engineer at Loyola, said: “The PacketShaper is an indispensable tool for managing and reporting the constant growth in bandwidth demand across our diverse set of applications. With the deep visibility provided by the PacketShaper we know exactly which applications are running at any point in time, and can adjust priorities on the fly to deliver better performance for the most critical ones.”
