Packeteer and Compaq have established a partnership through Compaq's Business Solutions for Exchange (BSE) program. The Compaq BSE program chooses best-in-class partners to help customers enhance efficiency, improve workflow and realize greater productivity in their Exchange environment. As a BSE partner, Packeteer offers Compaq's Microsoft Exchange customers a solution for ensuring application performance over wide-area networks (WAN) through its PacketShaper product family, which is targeted at enterprise and Internet Service Provider (ISP) customers.
