LOS GATOS, CA--(Marketwire - March 23, 2009) - Procera® Networks Inc. (NYSE Alternext US: [ PKT ]), a developer of Evolved Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) solutions providing the most accurate traffic awareness, control and protection for complex networks, today announced that the National University of Singapore (NUS) deployed PacketLogic™ PL10000, to effectively manage network costs with sophisticated bandwidth management.

"There are many features that make PacketLogic stand out from others," said Mr. Gong Wei, Associate Director of the National University of Singapore's Computer Centre. "Specifically, PacketLogic's understanding of BGP routing and real-time statistics reporting instantly helps the engineer gain better insight into the traffic pattern. The elegant and responsive user interface makes it easier to sort traffic information based on various attributes to quickly adjust, understand the impact, validate and further fine-tune the policy. Also, the ability to understand traffic behavior and apply flags helps to make more effective use of bandwidth."

A leading global university centered in Asia, NUS is Singapore's flagship university that offers a global approach to education and research with a focus on Asian perspectives and expertise. Over 30,000 students from 100 countries are enrolled in its 14 faculties and schools across three campus locations in Singapore -- Kent Ridge, Bukit Timah and Outram. A special feature of NUS education is the global dimension of its courses in partnership with some of the world's best institutions. NUS also enjoys a close teaching-research association with 16 national-level, 22 university-level and 80 faculty-based research institutes and centers.

Today universities consume a significant amount on Internet capacity due to increased overall demand; more diversified connectivity to support research and education partners; and in order to support more video-intensive and interactive applications. This scenario is true at NUS and a trigger for their decision to deploy PacketLogic to optimize the use of bandwidth and control communication costs.

"We continue to come out on top with Universities across the region," said Jon Linden, Procera's VP Global Marketing. "At NUS, the Computer Centre Team was very aware of their different end-user requirements and understood the need to view traffic in real-time and ensure traffic priority to critical education applications if necessary."
