Improving the performance of their WAN links is an ongoing consideration for many companies with distributed offices and sites whether in the UK or throughout the world.
The standard 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.
