Improve App Performance over the WAN
• Organisations need to manage application delivery
– Optimise application response times
– Reduce WAN bandwidth costs and opex
– Minimise the effect of latency
• New applications strain the network
– Browser-based applications
– XML Web Services
• Problems with application delivery via WAN
– Low adoption rates for slow applications
EMEA Launch Roadshow 2007
Applications via WAN are Slow
Users are less productive because applications via the WAN can be slow
Bandwidth, latency,
congestion, and packet loss
Regulation causes data
center consolidation
Security & authentication
adds overhead

Need for Speed, Intelligence, and Collaboration
High traffic volume forces
Zango to buy multiple 6400
units and limit traffic
processing to L4
intelligence
•
Exploding growth in traffic is
driving up infrastructure cost
•
Can’t consolidate application
layer networking services

Increasing number of servers

“Rather than scaling out with multiple lower end units, it’s much more
cost effective to consolidate traffic on to one, more powerful platform.”
