Blue Coat PacketShaper Appliances Solve Intec's Video Conferencing, VoIP and Remote Access Issues

Digital Communications Between Tokyo and Shanghai Locations Previously Unreliable and of Poor Quality

Blue Coat Systems, Inc., the technology leader in Application Delivery Networking, recently announced that Intec Inc., a prominent Japanese IT consulting company, has deployed Blue Coat® PacketShaper® appliances to enable quality video conferencing, Voice over IP (VoIP), email and file exchange between its headquarters in Tokyo and its software development center in Shanghai. Before deploying the PacketShaper appliances, latency and network congestion prevented the productive use of video conferencing and VoIP telephony between the offices and also made email and remote file access extremely slow.

While only 1,100 miles (1,800 kilometers) apart, the Tokyo and Shanghai sites suffered from latency of up to 300 milliseconds, making real-time communication nearly impossible. Much of the latency was caused by congestion on the network due to a high volume of Web traffic and file transfers. Like many companies, the Wide Area Network (WAN) is becoming increasingly dominated by Web traffic. At Intec, 60-70 percent of WAN traffic was Web-based. The high levels of Web traffic caused congestion, which affected business communication and made available bandwidth highly unpredictable.
