Cisco Systems, Inc. is the worldwide leader in networking for the Internet. Today, networks are an essential part of business, education, government and home communications, and Cisco Internet Protocol-based (IP) networking solutions are the foundation of these networks. Cisco hardware, software, and service offerings are used to create Internet solutions that allow individuals, companies, and countries to increase productivity, improve customer satisfaction and strengthen competitive advantage. The Cisco name has become synonymous with the Internet, as well as with the productivity improvements that Internet business solutions provide. At Cisco, our vision is to change the way people work, live, play and learn.

Cisco was founded in 1984 by a small group of computer scientists from Stanford University. Since the company's inception, Cisco engineers have been leaders in the development of Internet Protocol (IP)-based networking technologies. This tradition of IP innovation continues with industry-leading products in the core areas of routing and switching, as well as advanced technologies in areas such as: Home Networking, Optical Storage Networking, IP Telephony, Network Security, and Wireless LAN.

Today, with more than 34,000 employees worldwide, Cisco remains committed to creating networks that are smarter, thanks to built-in intelligent network services; faster, in their ability to perform at ever-increasing speeds; and more durable, with a generational approach to an evolutionary infrastructure.

Extreme Networks is a leader in open converged networks. Its innovative network architecture provides enterprises and metro service providers with the resiliency, adaptability and simplicity required for a true converged network that supports voice, video and data, over a wired and wireless infrastructure, while delivering high-performance and advanced security features.

Extreme pioneered the silicon-based approach to networking, so that networking processes reside in hardware. This approach dramatically outperforms conventional CPU- and software-based routing every time. They originated this concept and continue to lead the industry in every performance category.

The performance advantages don't end there. Such extraordinary capacity has allowed them to build groundbreaking bandwidth management, traffic shaping, and traffic classification tools like Policy-Based Quality of Service (QoS), without the risk of performance bottlenecks.

As a result, not only does the Extreme approach reduce network congestion, it also enhances whatever area of network performance our customers deem most vital. Simply put, they magnify the value of the network.

F5 products address the three main areas of Application Delivery Networking: Application Security, Application Optimization and Application Availability.

Regardless of your network application pain, F5 has a solution. And because they recognize that each network issue has an impact upon other critical areas, F5 products share powerful attributes across the industry's only integrated platform - TMOS. TMOS includes the iControl API, which allows F5 products to communicate with each other and implement extremely flexible policies in the form of iRules. An active developer community, unique to F5, creates and shares customized iRules for enforcing virtually any kind of application-delivery behavior.

The result is elegant and powerful solutions to protect you from security threats, network failures and traffic congestion, while putting in place an architecture for the future.

Delivered as an easy-to-install appliance, LogLogic allows you to collect and aggregate raw log data from any connected data source, analyze that data in real time, set alerts to warn of suspicious behavior and safely store all data for on-demand retrieval.

Log data becomes immediately accessible for real-time or historical trend analysis so you can pinpoint and isolate risks in minutes. LogLogic's solution reliably aggregates high volumes of log data and offers fast search and drill-down capabilities essential for compliance and threat mitigation, while automating log data archival and providing secure log data retention.

Packeteer monitoring solutions begin by automatically classifying more than 400 specific types of application traffic that consume costly WAN bandwidth. Packeteer can also reveal how these apps perform, who is using them, and which ones are causing performance problems. From there, IT managers can use Packeteer to assign customized QoS and bandwidth policies for business-critical applications to ensure optimal control and performance, while limiting or blocking bandwidth used by recreational or potentially malicious applications.

Performance can be further accelerated through Packeteer's intelligent compression technology which yields up to 10X compression gains on certain traffic types, thus relieving congestion and creating more available bandwidth for other applications. Finally, Packeteer offers system-wide reporting and policy management applications to simplify administration of large-scale deployments. No other solution on the market offers this comprehensive set of integrated capabilities which help make Packeteer the global market leader in Application Traffic Management.
