WAN Optimisation
The traditional solution to a slow internet connection has been to increase the bandwidth. WAN optimisation is a relatively new answer. Using new products like Riverbed’s Steelhead appliances has enabled some companies to increase their speed and productivity while lowering their bandwidth charges. Not many IT solutions save you money and increase productivity at the same time– this one can! In most cases remote sites do not need a server installed but can make use of Riverbed’s technology.

Branch Office Connectivity Problems? If you have branch offices and/or a mobile workforce, you may be all too familiar with the challenges these workers face when it comes to slow application performance and getting access to documents and email on the move. If you manage remote infrastructure such as branch servers, you might also have experienced problems supporting these, running remote backups and ensuring data safety. |

Increasing Bandwidth And Infrastructure Will Increase Your Costs. One solution to the problem of slow application performance might be to add more bandwidth and increase infrastructure, but this does not deal with the problem of magnified latency. More servers, files, applications, emails and databases mean more application chattiness and more traffic across the WAN, resulting in ever increasing communication costs. |

Server Consolidation Won't Solve The Whole Problem. What about server consolidation? That means spending less on servers and reducing energy costs, but while keeping your data safe and available in your head office, your branch office and remote employees can no longer collaborate and get access to the information they need. Options like compression, caching and QOS help a little but they add cost and complexity and don't solve the whole problem. |
