Sean Applegate, Packeteer Federal Systems Engineer Manager, specializes in helping US Government organizations build application performance-focused Wide Area Network Infrastructures.  Sean has been focused on WAN and Application Optimization within the US Government for over 8 years and brings a wealth of knowledge to his clients.  Sean has provided optimization consulting on some of the US Government's highest visibility projects, such as DHS OneNet, US Navy ADNS, USAF Block 1 & 30 Networks, Centcom Global War On Terror (GWOT) Network, DISA Global Broadcast System (GBS), US GLORIAD Project and many others.  The most common enterprise-level projects Sean is involved with include SLA/Visibility projects, MPLS enablement, QoS, VoIP deployments, Server/Data Consolidation and COOP scenarios.  Sean is a firm believer there is no silver bullet to solving an enterprise's WAN performance problems.  However by building a well rounded and integrated infrastructure they can reduce ongoing costs, create a more predictable end user experience and migrate to a proactive instead of reactive strategy.
