Blue Coat has announced new software plug-ins that update the capabilities of its cloud connected Blue Coat PacketShaper appliance to discover, monitor, assess and control the traffic from the latest versions of popular Chinese and Asian applications.
PacketShaper appliances enable enterprises to gain comprehensive understanding and control the bandwidth that applications consume at their Internet gateway points or across the Wide Area Network (WAN) to branch offices.
"Companies need to manage and protect the bandwidth they have at Internet gateway points and across the WAN to ensure that critical business processes are not impaired or interrupted, Even just several employees using video-intensive Web applications, such as Thunder and PPTV while at work can severely impair the operation of the entire corporate network," said Steve Daheb, Chief Marketing Officer & Senior VP, Blue Coat Systems.
The combination of the these new Chinese application plug-ins with the power of real-time Web intelligence provides Chinese companies an unparalleled level of visibility and control for content and applications coming from across the entire Internet. With PacketShaper appliances, companies can align network resources with their business priorities. Therefore, the new software plug-ins is available immediately and is free of charge to customers with a current maintenance agreement.
