Security and WAN application delivery vendor Blue Coat Systems' second quarter performance was given a shot in the arm by recent acquisition Packeteer.

Total net revenue for the three months to 31 October increased 62 per cent to $119m ($78m) compared to the same quarter last year. Excluding revenue associated with the acquisition of Packeteer net revenue hit $93.9m, an increase of 28 per cent compared to $73.4m in the same quarter last year.

Brian NeSmith, president and chief executive officer of Blue Coat Systems, said: “We have largely completed the integration of Packeteer, which we acquired in June, and recognised approximately $25m in net revenue from the acquired business in the second quarter.
