Procera Networks Quickly Becoming the Network Management Solution of Choice in Higher Education

Procera® Networks Inc. (NYSE Amex: PKT), a developer of Evolved
Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) solutions providing traffic awareness,
control and protection for complex networks, today announced that
more than 20 Universities in the United States chose its industry
leading PacketLogic(TM) family of products since January 2009.
Included in this list are notable Universities such as: Vanderbilt
University, Southern Arkansas University, Palm Beach Community
College, Ohio Northern University, Michigan REMC #1, LeTourneau
University, Illinois Institute of Technology, Heidelberg
University, Central Washington University and California Baptist
University. This continued success solidifies Procera's worldwide
leadership in the Higher Education market segment.
"We'd been using a bandwidth management product from another
vendor for eight years, but after evaluating Procera's PacketLogic
products, we decided to switch," said Ethan Cooper, Network
Administrator, LeTourneau University. "With PacketLogic, we are
looking forward to providing a satisfying Internet experience for
our students, faculty, and staff regardless of the applications
they're using or the time of day they're using them. In particular,
the volume based shaping feature is a key part of our strategy
moving into the future. Since Internet bandwidth is not an infinite
resource, volume based shaping allows us to present our users with
a choice of how and when they use the bandwidth we provide
them."
"The Procera Networks solution offers us features and services
we did not see on competing products. We were especially impressed
with the real-time monitoring capabilities along with the
responsiveness from their engineers," said David Marley, Asst
Director, IT Network Infrastructure Services, California Baptist
University, Riverside, CA. "With a small, local support staff, we
appreciate having such a robust and responsive product to manage
our constantly changing network traffic landscape, yet without
spending countless hours in set-up and configuration."
"Most Universities have issues balancing academic and
recreational Internet usage, the amount of bandwidth required, by a
growing number of sophisticated applications and students, can
increase exponentially, impacting cost and quality of service,"
said Jon Lindén, Procera's vice president of global marketing.
"Procera's DPI products allow University network managers to shape
network traffic and provide protection to the network and its
users."
The specific University profiles vary, but common to all is the
need to accurately manage and control network traffic to maximize
the substantial investment they've made in network infrastructure.
These and other University networks around the world act as service
providers to the academic and residential facilities across their
campuses and see significant traffic volume day and night. They
deploy PacketLogic to prioritize critical applications, limit
bandwidth for recreational use during peak hours, and to gain
granular insight into network activity for forensics, allowing
real-time identification and isolation of malware.
"I was frustrated with our existing vendor. We needed a solution
that would handle a gig of traffic throughput and most systems
topped out at around 150 MB, so our choices were limited to start
with," said Michael Merker, Director of Technology Infrastructure,
Palm Beach Community College. "We evaluated the Procera PacketLogic
and found that we liked the number of options available to manage
our traffic -- fixed limits, percentage of total allocated
bandwidth, prioritization, and more -- as well as the ability to
mix and match those options and not be bound to a single
method."
"The volume based shaping component of PacketLogic has allowed
us to create sensible daily quotas for our students," said Jason
Gerdes, Sr. ResNet Network Engineer, Central Washington University.
"This allows users a better overall experience and stops heavy
downloaders from congesting the network."
