WAN
Optimization is fast becoming the most efficient
and cost-effective way to improve application
performance on a network and enhance the user
experience without purchasing expensive bandwidth.
Networks
and applications today are more critical than ever.
As work forces become more distributed they are
increasingly reliant on business applications and the
underlying network infrastructure that supports them.
The demands on your network continue to grow.
Even as circuit bandwidth prices continue to be
competitive, they remain your largest recurring
network expense, and management is constantly
squeezing every dollar out of your operating budget.
Applications
are often not designed to perform well over a wide
area network, particularly ones that contains
significant latency.
Latency can cause even basic applications such
as file transfers or mail to grind to an unusable
halt. The
user experience can be infuriating.
Network congestion can occur if user demands
exceed capacity, which they constantly seem to do,
further degrading application performance.
The desire to centralize applications to reduce
infrastructure and support costs is a desirable goal
but one that is difficult in the face of these
obstacles.
WAN
Optimization appliances provide a means to realize
these goals without upgrading network bandwidth.
Product vendors offer router-like appliances
with application layer intelligence that interacts
with the applications in a manner that reduces network
traffic and speeds up performance.
For a price much less than the recurring cost
of circuits, you can improve the user experience while
reducing your operational costs.
Millennia
Systems will help you to accomplish this goal.
We will first develop a clear-cut business case
that justifies the WAN optimization hardware purchase.
Millennia will evaluate your applications,
develop your network and WAN optimization
requirements, evaluate vendor products, design, test
and implement the solution. The results will improve application performance for your
user community while saving you money. |
