WAN Acceleration

Networks must be able to deliver the performance needed to support the applications your organisation uses and you suffer when application performance suffers.  As workforces become more mobile and organisations become ever more reliant on applications, new challenges to provide quick application response times exist.

The issue is significantly worse in dynamic or changing environments.  A big issue is that most organisations don’t even know what applications are actually running on their networks as they don’t have the right tools to let them know.  How can you get applications to perform to the business needs without the tools to report then to set “business” priorities to how the network will prioritise and manage applications?

WAN acceleration solutions help you to solve these common challenges. The solution is designed to improve application performance and to match applications response times to business needs.

Who needs WAN Acceleration?

WAN acceleration benefits organisations the match the following criteria:

• Staff work in multiple locations away from head office (or where the server infrastructure is)
• The capacity of connections to remote staff is lower than the capacity of the local network in head office
• Environments where there are applications competing for bandwidth
• The cost of wide area data connections is too high
• Wide area data connections are not able to handle real time applications like video conferencing or IP telephony

Benefits of WAN Acceleration

WAN acceleration delivers the following benefits to business:

• Delay or eliminate the need to upgrade WAN links - which saves money
• Decrease wait time for applications running over the WAN due to slow speeds - allowing staff to be more productive
• Prioritise applications based on business needs – also enhancing staff productivity
