Packeteer Introduces Enterprise-Class Acceleration for Mobile and Remote Workers with the SkyX Server 155; New Appliance Mitigates Latency and Speeds Application Delivery for VPN Users at Any Location.LAS VEGAS Las Vegas (läs vā`gəs), city (1990 pop. 258,295), seat of Clark co., S Nev.; inc. 1911. It is the largest city in Nevada and the center of one of the fastest-growing urban areas in the United States. -- Packeteer(R), Inc. (Nasdaq:PKTR), the pioneer and global leader in WAN Application Traffic Management, today introduced the Mentat SkyX Server 155, offering enterprise-class acceleration to mitigate latency and speed application delivery for remote and mobile users using a VPN (Virtual Private Network) A private network that is configured within a public network (a carrier's network or the Internet) in order to take advantage of the economies of scale and management facilities of large networks. . The new solution is a companion to the Mentat SkyX Gateways, and extends TCP acceleration TCP Acceleration is the name of a series of techniques for achieving better throughput on an Internet connection than standard TCP achieves, without modifying the end applications. It is an alternative or a supplement to TCP tuning. to network links to every location business is conducted, from traditional branch offices to single users in large extended networks. With the SkyX Server 155, businesses that have many branches or a large virtual work force, such as sales and services organizations, can now ensure application performance over high capacity links up to 155 Mbps. Additionally, the new model offers an economical approach to extending enterprise networks with only one appliance deployed at the main location, while client-side software is installed on individual user systems. "As the number of remote locations increase and enterprise networks demand more solutions to meet the needs of a distributed workforce, the number of VPNs will continue to grow," said Vincent Lui, senior research analyst at IDC. "The SkyX Server 155 offers a viable alternative to these enterprises in managing and improving VPN performance." The SkyX Server 155 is installed next to the VPN concentrator and functions as a TCP protocol See TCP. accelerator, optimizing protocol transmissions to manage and reduce the effects of high latency and high packet loss across the Internet. Loss and latency ordinarily have a significant detrimental effect on application performance, but SkyX Servers can dramatically reduce their impact and improve application performance by: --Accelerating TCP (1) (Transmission Control Protocol) The reliable transport protocol within the TCP/IP protocol suite. TCP ensures that all data arrive accurately and 100% intact at the other end. over high latency links, such as satellite --Optimizing WAN application performance and link utilization and efficiency --Enhancing Web-based performance and improve response times --Maximizing bandwidth utilization and ROI (Return On Investment) The monetary benefits derived from having spent money on developing or revising a system. In the IT world, there are more ways to compute ROI than Carter has liver pills (and for those of you who never heard of that expression, it means a lot). --Speeding up large flows and file transfers "As more enterprises move from a traditional structure to a more distributed workforce, the need to find new and improved solutions to ensure application performance to those locations is critical," said David Puglia, vice president of marketing for Packeteer. "Packeteer has always provided acceleration for WAN links and now offers VPN acceleration making for a perfect solution for companies with remote and mobile users." The Mentat SkyX Server 155 and client software is available immediately. Pricing starts at $25,000. About Packeteer, Inc.
