Packateer, the leader in intelligent bandwidth management, has appointed PQ Networks as its exclusive supplier in South Africa. The Packateer distributorship contract was formerly held by PQ Client Computing, previously a member of the PQ Africa group of companies.
Packeteer`s PacketShaper and AppVantage product lines were built to address a wide variety of challenges facing network managers and service providers. Packeteer technology dramatically boosts the business value of a network by lowering application response times, raising revenue per Kbit/second, aligning network resources with corporate goals, and quickly adapting to changing priorities.
"Right now many companies are spending huge portions of their IT budget on expensive, business-critical applications, only to find them fighting with less important traffic for limited bandwidth. Most networks don`t need more bandwidth, they need better control and utilisation. Packateer products provide this control and enable people to manage network traffic," says Tim Knowles, managing director of PQ Networks. "The Packateer products will add real value to PQ Networks` solution offering, allowing us to further tailor our solutions to best meet the needs of our customers."
