Procera Networks and Qwilt Partner to Launch Online Video Delivery and Analytics Solution for Network Operators

FREMONT and REDWOOD CITY, Calif., February 25, 2014 – Qwilt, a provider of online video delivery and transparent caching solutions, and Procera Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ: PKT) the global Internet Intelligence company, today announced a partnership to offer network operators a best-of-breed transparent caching and Internet Intelligence solution that addresses network challenges resulting from the rapid growth and consumption of online video. Qwilt’s QB-Series transparent caching technology and Procera’s PacketLogic™ platform together provide network operators with a unified, plug-and-play solution to seamlessly deliver over-the-top (OTT) video traffic and improve quality of experience (QoE) for their subscribers.

“Our PacketLogic solutions provide network operators with unprecedented insights and the ability to enhance the QoE for any Internet connected device,” said James Brear, president and CEO of Procera Networks. “Our collaboration with Qwilt provides operators with an end-to-end solution for delivering high quality video traffic on their networks. The joint solution achieves a high return on investment by optimizing the network resources needed to deliver high-value streaming video traffic.”

The Procera and Qwilt joint solution combines best-of-breed video caching and Internet Intelligence functionality. With this partnership, network operators can prepare their networks for the growth of online video traffic, bandwidth utilization and QoE, and optimizing traffic with network insights. Network operators will benefit by:

Ease of Deployment: For new deployments, a simple insertion model for the combined solution enables both application intelligence and transparent caching immediately, while those who have already deployed Procera’s solutions in their networks can easily insert and integrate Qwilt’s solution to enable transparent caching of online video.
Network Resources Optimization: Procera’s Advanced Traffic Steering can selectively steer OTT traffic to Qwilt for classification and caching which results in a more efficient use of video caching resources.
Service Model Innovation: Advanced analytics and reporting from Qwilt and Procera solutions can identify new service models and create new revenue streams by providing network operators with enhanced usage management and differentiated services based on video caching.

“Through the combination of transparent caching, video delivery and video analytics, Qwilt’s QB-Series Video Fabric Controller delivers a solution that network operators can implement to reduce network cost and improve QoE,” said Alon Maor, CEO of Qwilt. “Our partnership with Procera provides network operators with a total solution that is simple to deploy and optimizes network resources and efficiency. Our ability to reduce network cost and improve QoE enables our joint customers to realize the value of edge caching.”
