WAN Acceleration
If you have a network of distributed offices or sites either in the UK or overseas, you have probably considered improving the performance of the WAN links between these sites.
The default approach is to look at increasing line speed or buying more bandwidth, a process which inevitably involves comparing the costs and services of two or more alternative network providers. But WAN acceleration, also known as Wide-area Data Services (WDS), offers you a viable alternative to the incremental cost of leased lines.
Instead of increasing your annual outlay on leased line and other WAN costs, WAN acceleration appliances deliver LAN-like access to files and applications across the WAN, without the cost of extra bandwidth.
How can Metadigm help improve the performance of your WAN?
Metadigm partners with Riverbed, the global leader in Wide-area Data
Services. By deploying Riverbed Steelhead appliances on your network
you can typically expect the speed of all applications running over TCP
to increase by 5 to 50 times and in some cases by up to 100 times. At
the same time, your bandwidth utilization will typically drop by 65%
to 95%.
Your most likely question is "How is this possible?". The
best way to answer it is to try Riverbed out for yourself via our "Try
Before You Buy" scheme.
