Networked Applications Run the Business

Slow Applications Slow the Business

From tasks as simple as sending memos via email to tasks as complex as group collaboration on engineering and manufacturing plans, businesses increasingly rely on the use of networked applications. Point of sale applications allow customers to buy goods, ERP applications ensure manufacturing has the material they need, and accounting applications ensure accurate fund management.

Almost all employees will use applications at one point or another in their job. Applications that run fast allow employees to be efficient and productive. On the other hand, applications that run slow (higher latency) will cause employees to be inefficient and will cause productivity to drop. While application performance at headquarters is usually good, the application performance at remote locations typically suffers. This higher latency, or application slow down, often prevents optimal productivity from employees in these remote locations (a real problem when more than 85% of the enterprise workforce is remote).

Expand's Acceleration Solution

• Increase productivity through improved user experience
• Reduce the effect of chatty applications
• Make the WAN behave like the LAN

Expand's Application Acceleration solution is a collection of application-specific enhancements that improve response time. The collection includes HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, and DNS, that will all dramatically improve web services and other business applications running over the web. Expand's Citrix Acceleration has been a staple for many years, enabling more user sessions per remote location as well as speeding the response time across the board. Voice Optimization will help prevent congestion that impacts the call quality for IP calls, and the Terminal Services Acceleration will bring this application's WAN performance closer to what the LAN delivers.
