Procera Networks, an intelligent policy enforcement
company, announced a $4 million follow-on order from a major European
fixed/mobile network operator that has chosen the PL10000 to provide 120Gbps
policy enforcement for pure transit- and long-distance link management to
effectively reduce costs and manage bandwidth allocation for bandwidth-hungry
traffic.
The follow-on order represents an acceleration of an
initial deployment and a geographic increase that will expand the network
across a large European country.
As part of the engagement, Procera will conduct a traffic
peering and inter-city-link traffic-management analysis to give the operator
visibility into the applications and content passing across its wide-area links
and the resulting effect on the Quality of Experience (QoE) it provides to
subscribers.
The real-time analytics and intelligence reporting
provided by the Procera solution gave the customer a clear view of the
congestion points in its network caused by heavy file-sharing usage and
bandwidth-intensive apps like streaming video content.
“This follow-on order is a great example of the
strategic value Procera adds and reflects the growth potential we see in the
European market,” said Paul Gracie, VP of EMEA Sales for Procera Networks.
“Coming into this deployment from the beginning
enabled us to demonstrate the tangible value of our intelligent policy enforcement
solution, so our customer could see right away that to fully realize the growth
potential of its network, it needs the scalability that only we can
offer,” Gracie added.
The PL10000 delivers scalable Intelligent Policy
Enforcement (IPE), supporting up to 120Gbps of throughput in a single system,
and up to 2Tbps from a multi-system. The product enables rapidly-growing
networks to provide intelligence beyond 10Gbps of capacity, thereby accounting
for the explosive growth of traffic from bandwidth-hungry applications like
social networks and streaming video.
Procera Networks recently announced
that an existing Tier-1 mobile operator customer the largest in a South Pacific
nation has selected PacketLogic solutions to be the core of its new satellite
bandwidth service to a new national wholesale-only, open access high-speed
broadband network.
This operator will be using both real-time enforcement
and intelligence center hardware and software platforms to deliver satellite
connectivity to account for coverage gaps in a national broadband network that
services 93 percent of homes, schools and businesses, providing 100 Mbps data
rates.
