PacketShaper Level I and Level II Training

Merit Network is pleased to host a presentation of PacketShaper Level I and Level II training for network administrators. These 2-1/2 day courses will be taught during the week of January 19-23, 2009, at the Michigan Information Technology Center in Ann Arbor.

Packeteer's PacketShaper is a popular platform for optimizing WAN application performance in enterprise networks. Many organizations use PacketShaper to help monitor their networks, shape traffic and apply policy-based QoS control, and accelerate and compress applications for maximum performance. Full course descriptions appear below.

The training courses will be delivered by VistaOne Corporation, one of only fifteen Packeteer authorized training centers in the world. The courses will involve a mixture of lecture and hands-on work, with one PacketShaper device per two students and extensive training materials provided. Class size is limited to 12 students per session. Attendees must bring a laptop computer.

These courses are seldom if ever taught in Michigan; typically travel to Atlanta, Cupertino or elsewhere is required to attend a public workshop.

Attendees may register for either or both of the sessions. Pricing for individuals from Merit Member organizations is as follows:
Level I: $1295
Level II: $1295
Both Level I & Level II: $2455
The retail prices for these courses are typically $1725 apiece or $3280 for both. Individuals not from Merit Member organizations may attend at these retail prices.

Please register by December 12, 2008, in order to help ensure that the classes can be held. Your registration will be refunded if registration is not adequate to hold the courses.

Continental breakfast, beverages and snacks will be provided.
