APconnections is a privately-held company founded in July 2003 and based in Lafayette, CO. We develop cost-effective and easy-to-install and manage traffic shaping appliances based on Linux and Open Source technology. Our NetEqualizer product family optimizes critical network bandwidth resources for any organization that purchases bandwidth in bulk and then redistributes or resells that bandwidth to disparate users with competing needs.
Our products were developed by network administrators for network administrators. Our goal is to provide fully-featured traffic shaping products that are simple to install and easy to use and manage. We released our first commercial offering in July 2003, and since then over 1000 unique customers around the world have put our products into service. Our flexible and scalable solutions can be found at ISPs, WISPs, major universities, Fortune 500 companies, SOHOs and small businesses on six continents.
Competing demands for network resources and congestion are problems shared by network administrators and operators across the globe. Low priority applications such as a large file download should never be allowed to congest and slowdown your VoIP, CRM, ERP or other high priority business applications. Until the development of APconnections’ NetEqualizer product family, network administrators and operators who wanted to cost-effectively manage network congestion and quality of service were forced to cobble together custom solutions. This process turned a simple task into a labor intensive exercise in custom software development. Now, with the NetEqualizer product family from APconnections, network staff can purchase and quickly install cost-effective turnkey traffic shaping solutions.
