A key challenge in any server consolidation effort is network performance.
More traffic over the WAN increases the probability of congestion.
Also an application designed to work efficiently over the Local Area Network (LAN) will run slower over the WAN because of latency. As a result, server consolidation efforts can lead to user dissatisfaction and lost productivity.
Security and business continuity are also concerns: data security issues arise when users store important data locally instead of at the central site; while increasing reliance on the WAN for business critical applications introduces inevitable continuity issues.
Expand Accelerators provide a standards-based, scalable multi-service platform that delivers an application acceleration solution and guarantees the simplicity and cost reduction that are the primary benefits of consolidation.
