Practical Strategies to Accelerate Business Applications Across the WAN

Overview Blue Coat's MACH5 is a patent-pending framework of technologies designed to bring all of the appropriate acceleration techniques (bandwidth management, compression, protocol optimization, byte caching, and object caching) to all of an enterprise's key applications - including web, secure web, file services, email, and video. MACH5 is delivered in Blue Coat appliances, which means that it enables organizations to manage all of their user/application interactions - to stop undesirable applications, throttle less-important applications, differentiate users and groups, and accelerate critical applications - even when encrypted.
