Wide Area Networks (WAN) White Papers

Boost Revenue and Customer Satisfaction With Managed Application-Acceleration Service

Tags:
wide area networks (wan)

Overview A burgeoning global trend toward branch-infrastructure consolidation is creating a significant new managed-service opportunity. Enterprises that centralize their application, file, and print services need assurance that their branch-office employees can access services over the WAN as quickly as they could over the LAN. Service providers can meet this need by offering a managed application-acceleration service in conjunction with their existing Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) VPN service. This paper explains why business customers subscribe to a managed application-acceleration service, how the service works, and benefits for providers as well as their customers.
