WAN Optimization - A New Approach

Tags:
wide area networks (wan)

Overview Hughes' unique technology, innovation, and history of being both a technology company and managed network service provider delivers a unique combination of WAN optimization technology. For a variety of strategic and operational reasons, the enterprise is moving toward consolidating its data center by concentrating servers in hub locations and recentralizing deployment of formerly distributed applications. The client-server paradigm is shifting to a Web-based application delivery model, which is in turn requiring that all users - whether at the headquarters or at the remote branch office - obtain "Anytime, anywhere, always" functionality from their enterprise applications.
