There are several common challenges we see with our customers:

• Improving application performance for remote office and mobile workers

• Centralizing application, mail and file servers away from remote offices

• Improving visibility, control and reliability of server infrastructure

• Implementing a reliable and cost effective disaster recovery strategy.

The primary reason customers have moved to distributing application, mail and file servers to remote office locations was overcoming unacceptable application performance at those locations.

The primary causes of poor remote application performance still exist; expensive and slow WAN connectivity, network latency and inefficient application protocols.

In order to make IT infrastructure consolidation work, these performance limiting factors must be overcome.

• WAN bandwidth optimization
• Application acceleration
