May, 2002 : Interliant Debuts New Bandwidth Management Service


📅 - Managed infrastructure solution provider Interliant Inc. (interliant.com) announced on Tuesday that it has released a new bandwidth management service designed to ensure the performance of an organization's critical applications.

Based on Packeteer's PacketShaper application performance and bandwidth management system, says Interliant, the new service allows network administrators to identify traffic on the network at the application layer and assign policies to prioritize each type, limiting non-essential traffic and assuring ample bandwidth for critical traffic.
"Interliant has the extensive experience and excellent reputation in the industry that Packeteer looks for in an integration partner," says Betty Kaufman, director of channel marketing for Packeteer. "Today more than ever, organizations around the world are recognizing the need to maximize return from their existing IT resources."
Interliant says the service uses the PacketShaper system to help customers maximize the return on their network and application infrastructures and avoid unnecessary bandwidth upgrades. It provides information to network administrators by discovering, classifying and analyzing application and traffic performance.
The company says it uses the information gathered to help customers develop custom policies for application and traffic prioritization, allowing administrators to ensure that bandwidth allocation and use is aligned with business priorities.
"This new offering is a natural extension to our systems infrastructure services and underscores Interliant's commitment to providing customers with end-to-end infrastructure solutions," says Tim Richardson, director of product development, systems and security, Interliant. "This is an extremely valuable service that enables organizations to leverage their existing infrastructure to keep critical traffic moving while ensuring less urgent traffic does not dominate network pipelines. Leveraging the PacketShaper system to offer this service allows our customers to analyze, classify, and prioritize traffic flows, often eliminating the requirement to purchase additional bandwidth."
The bandwidth management service is available immediately, says Interliant, with implementation services pricing starting at $2,900.
