Transforms the Economics of 10 Gbps DPI LOS GATOS, Calif., April 6, 2010 – Procera® Networks Inc. (NYSE Amex: PKT), a developer of Evolved DPI solutions providing awareness, analysis, and control for network service providers, today announced the industry’s first purpose-built, two rack unit (2RU) 10 Gbps deep packet inspection (DPI) appliance – the PacketLogic PL8720. With up to 10 Gbps of throughput in a cost and space efficient two rack unit form factor, PacketLogic PL8720 is specifically designed for customers with accelerating network growth plans, who are transitioning or will transition from GE (gigabit Ethernet) to 10GE links. The PL8720 has the greatest DPI port density per rack unit on the market, with up to eight 10GE or sixteen GE ports in a single appliance. With its introduction, service providers now have a DPI platform in a power saving appliance that will easily upgrade from GE to 10GE. Instead of a chassis-based system with a higher initial cost of deployment, the PL8720 allows service providers to have lower capital expenditures and operating expenses. Customers also do not need to sacrifice scalability with the PL8720, as multiple systems can be clustered to support growth up to 80 Gbps of throughput in a single deployment. With a starting cost of less than half of many chassis-based 10GE solutions, the PL8720 dramatically changes the business model for 10GE DPI deployments. “The PacketLogic PL8720 is designed to satisfy a demand from service providers and higher education institutions as they further upgrade their network to 10GE links,” said Jon Lindén, Procera's vice president of global marketing. “The PL8720 fulfills this need and will serve as a catalyst for these customers to deploy DPI solutions as we change the economics of DPI. Complete application, subscriber, location and device awareness enables PL8720 to implement intelligent network traffic analysis, network optimization, congestion control, network protection and innovative service creation." The PacketLogic PL8720 leverages the latest hardware and software technology to achieve a dramatic reduction in the cost of 10GE DPI solutions. The platform takes advantage of the unparalleled accuracy of Procera’s Datastream Recognition Definition Language (DRDLTM) and the PacketLogic Intelligence Center to ensure that proper network and business decisions are made based on reliable intelligence. The PL8720 ships with the same extensive feature-set as the other PacketLogic family members; including support for asymmetric and geographically dispersed network deployments that uniquely positions PL8720 for growing broadband networks. The PacketLogic PL8720 is available now. Please contact Procera or our channel partners worldwide for specific pricing and availability.
