Network acceleration to enhance support for remote branch office workers in a virtualised environment.
Wide area networks are constantly under pressure, with increasing numbers of applications contending for bandwidth and more users working remotely.
Implementing server, storage or desktop virtualisation also inevitably means consolidating and moving these resources to a single or reduced number of sites with users gaining access via the wide area network. These users are at risk of experiencing unacceptable service if the network cannot handle the demands placed upon it.
If you are considering Network Virtualisation as part of your organisation’s IT strategy ask yourself some of the questions below and find out today how your business is set to benefit.
| Questions: |
Answers: |
Are you planning to implement a virtual desktop infrastructure or move storage and servers to a more centralised location?
Is your network a potentially limiting factor in your overall consolidation and virtualisation strategy? |
The deployment of network acceleration will enable you to confidently restructure your infrastructure and consolidate IT resources centrally. |
Do you have employees in remote offices and/or teleworkers who need reliable, fast access to applications and data?
Do these users need the same consistently high network speeds and access as their HQ-based colleagues?
Can you guarantee acceptable network performance? |
Network acceleration will improve network speeds and ensure network service levels are maintained at branch sites. |
| Are you constantly upgrading and spending more on network bandwidth charges and are you experiencing bottlenecks at peak times? |
In almost every case, network acceleration will be cheaper and more efficient than just increasing the size of the pipe, especially if the problem only occurs at peak periods. |
| Are you able to deliver timely and effective backups offsite from remote branch offices? |
You will be able to do offsite backups between the branch site and the data centre site more efficiently and quickly and improve business continuity. |
