Sandvine Intros 10-Gbit/s Traffic Mgr

CHICAGO -- Sandvine Incorporated, a leading provider of intelligent broadband network solutions, today launches its PTS 14000 platform – the industry’s most powerful platform enabling per-subscriber DPI-based policy solutions to solve both business and technology challenges in the world’s largest broadband networks that are migrating to 10-Gig connectivity.

Continued broadband subscriber growth combined with mass market adoption of what were once early-adopter applications like P2P file-sharing, VoIP, online gaming, and other multimedia applications demand increased intelligence in the broadband access pipe. Sandvine’s PTS 14000 platform addresses the growing challenges and opportunities that rise from these new applications, content and subscribers. Resource contention, including unwanted malicious traffic in the network breeds unpredictable service quality that can result in subscriber dissatisfaction, network downtime, loss of revenue and subscriber churn. Best-effort service delivery is simply not enough.

“The increase in bandwidth consumption due to media-rich applications, such as video streaming, along with peer-to-peer file sharing places a high premium on a service provider's ability to identify and manage traffic,” said Vince Vittore, Senior Analyst, Broadband Access Technologies, Yankee Group. “As broadband is increasingly vital to the consumer's daily life, higher capacity and carrier-grade equipment is a requirement for success.”
