Allot was chosen by Broadcom as the recommended vendor to offer a transition path from the discontinued PacketShaper line of products to the Allot Secure Service Gateway (SSG).
“We are glad to have entered the distribution agreement with Allot to offer high-quality, feature-rich Traffic Intelligence and Assurance solutions to PacketShaper customers. We look at this distribution partnership as a great opportunity for Symantec customers who need continuity in their network management,” said Fadi Abu Ekab Chief Executive Officer of SCOPE Middle.
