Wide Area Networks (WAN) White Papers

Why Adding Bandwidth Doesn't Solve WAN Application Performance problems

Overview Wide-area client-server applications are a critical part of almost every large enterprise. However, access to widely used and critical infrastructure across WANs (like file servers,mail servers and networked storage), is handicapped by very poor response time when compared to the performance across Local Area Networks (LAN). This white paper will explore the concerns surrounding WAN performance, and will detail a new approach that can help improve overall performance.
