Darlington Building Society Invests in Expand Networks to Support MPLS Investment
Overview Due to the dispersed nature of its branches, Darlington Building Society made a significant investment in a new MPLS network to provide more control over shared resources and to form the foundation of its disaster recovery strategy. However, the migration to MPLS didn't run as smoothly as expected. Darlington Building Society experienced significant problems with specific financial and mortgage applications such as Tietoenator's Summit and Activate, and other applications including Microsoft Excel and Word underperformed in the new MPLS environment. After evaluating products from Expand and Packeteer in the MPLS environment, Darlington Building Society selected the Expand Compass platform for its superior ability to accelerate all applications and safeguard the investment in MPLS.
