The objective of this solution is to keep setup and installation simple and consistent between customers.  This allows for a “cookie cutter” approach to acquiring new customers since the configuration of the entire system is exactly the same.

To make this possible we have developed a template based class tree and configuration for the Blue Coat PacketShaper.  This configuration incorporates common best practices from Blue Coat Sales Engineers and creates a traffic tree that is easy to use, provides deep visibility, and also makes it easy to deliver additional value added services such as Bandwidth Monitoring or QoS solutions.  Depending on the level of services provided to the customer, additional services and applications can easily be added to the template class tree under the appropriate business class of service.  For more information on this setup, please refer to the “Configuring the Blue Coat PacketShaper” document available in the Support section.

There are three easy steps to getting a customer setup for their Network Monitoring Solution.

1. Request the NetCore On Demand Cloud Instance here.
2. Configure and install the PacketShaper.
3. Deliver the customer portal back to the customer.
