Blue Coat and Packeteer

Blue Coat has acquired Packeteer, making Packeteer an official Blue Coat company. Together, we are positioned to deliver even greater value to our customers and partners. With Packeteer's decade-long leadership in intelligent WAN Optimization solutions and Blue Coat's success in the WAN Application Delivery market, we can offer solutions unmatched by any other vendor.

Packeteer has long been recognized as the market leader in application classification and traffic prioritization, while Blue Coat is recognized as the only vendor in the leader's quadrant of the Gartner Magic Quadrant for both Secure Web Gateway and WAN Optimization (2007). Packeteer's products complement Blue Coat's existing portfolio to provide customers with the most comprehensive platform for addressing branch office application performance challenges and security threats.

By combining the two technology portfolios, Blue Coat now offers the most comprehensive WAN Application Delivery solution. Packeteer's expertise in monitoring, shaping, and optimizing applications to deliver a superior user experience also advances Blue Coat's vision of building and deploying the next critical network infrastructure. We welcome Packeteer customers and partners to join us as we help redefine how networks deliver applications, how security is applied, and how users are empowered, protected and controlled.
