Bandwidth Issues White Papers

United Kingdom-Based Imperial College Leverages the Power of Volera Excelerator to Improve Internet Performance, Manage Growth, Reduce Bandwidth Costs and Make the Net Fly

Overview Students and faculty at Imperial College conduct much of their research via the Internet, which puts a heavy load on the university's servers and requires a large investment from the staff to manage the traffic flow. Because students, academics and faculty alike rely on quick access to Internet-based information, whether in HTML or rich media format, it is imperative that this information is delivered quickly and efficiently. Imperial College leveraged the industry's leading content networking technology - Volera's Excelerator - to combat the problems they faced with increased bandwidth usage, high costs to maintain the servers and Internet bottlenecks.
