whitepaper Overcoming ISP Network Challenges2009-02-10
  Organizations continue to battle problems related to delivering high-performing, continuous uptime and high-availability for applications such as VoIP, Outlook Web Access, VPN, Web Portals, and others, putting increased stress upon ISP links. An affordable approach to address these issues is the use of multi-homed connections to aggregate multiple low-cost ISP links. This approach avoids the high costs and complexity of using a Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) solution. Critical applications that had previously been hosted at home offices are now being accessed over the WAN, creating new concerns over reliable and secure access, along with how to assign appropriate and cost-effective bandwidth allocation. WAN connectivity failures and traffic congestion have become common problems that impact these business-critical applications.

whitepaper Device Consolidation Benefits WAN Infrastructure2009-02-10
  Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs) are looking for ways to improve the reliability and performance of their WAN infrastructure. Network device consolidation offers cost savings and eases the complexity of managing, maintaining and supporting multiple devices. There are many difficult issues related to WAN infrastructure complexity, cost, and performance. However, many of these issues can be resolved through device consolidation. Specialized WAN Optimization Controllers can be an affordable solution for SMEs looking to make their WAN connectivity more reliable and better performing, while simplifying and consolidating their WAN infrastructure.

whitepaper Everything You Need to Know About Network Failover2009-02-10
  The Internet has become so pervasive and integral for conducting business and communicating with customers, partners and employees, that network performance, high-availability, and uptime are required for running the day-to-day operations of an organization. Network downtime not only costs money and loss of productivity, it can also adversely affect a company's reputation among customers and partners. For many companies, their entire business strategy depends on how well its network performs. There are many events that can cause a network or site to go down, such as natural disasters, security attacks, a backhoe cutting a network line, or failing network infrastructure.

whitepaper Making the Case for Testing Ethernet Links2009-02-01 JDS Uniphase
  This paper describes the parameters to test on an Ethernet link and explains why they must be tested. Specifically it describes the four key parameters that affect any Ethernet or Internet Protocol (IP) link: throughput, frame loss, latency, and jitter. Then it explores the issues that cause these problems as well as the proper testing methodologies used to ensure successful deployment of an Ethernet metropolitan (MAN) or Wide Area Network (WAN) link.

whitepaper Tips for IT Cost Savings in a Tough Climate2009-02-01 CI−Net
  The current financial climate has caused most businesses to look to reduce costs. Sadly, this is a challenge that the IT Department cannot avoid. As a result, most IT Managers and IT Directors will recognise the call for a reduction in costs whilst either maintaining the functionality of their network or improving the network performance in light of the latest security threats, the potential business losses caused by network outages and the need for access to corporate data from a wide range of locations. The four cornerstones of Security, Reliability, Innovation and Value for Money present the IT professional with a juggling challenge as each takes precedence depending on the specific project in hand.

whitepaper Optimize Your Network on a Limited IT Budget2009-01-29
  From a business standpoint, SMEs, VARs, network integrators and managed hosting providers are under continuous pressure to reduce operational expenses and to improve profitability. Significant areas that can benefit from efficiency gains include administration, management, provisioning and ensuring maximum performance and reliability of WAN infrastructure. Organizations today depend upon their WAN to perform reliably in order to efficiently conduct business and optimize user productivity. However, this will not be accomplished through more complexity or more single capability solutions. The solution is found at the critical juncture between the end-user at a remote site, and the datacenter - where reliability, scalability, performance and security are enabled to ensure the delivery of critical applications over the Internet (WAN).

whitepaper Protecting Sensitive Data on Ethernet WAN: How to Reduce Cost and Complexity of Network Security2008-12-08 SafeNet
  Universal connectivity is essential in today's complex business environments. Driven by the convergence of data, voice, and video over sophisticated and expanding networks, growth in demand for bandwidth is outpacing Moore's Law to supply sufficient throughput. To meet this increasing demand, organizations are looking not only for larger network pipes but also for finer granularity and more efficient ways to use existing bandwidth. As a result, more and more companies have been considering native Ethernet to carry data over Wide Area Networks (WANs). Ethernet delivers highly scalable granularity - from 1 Mbps to 10 Gbps - while providing lower per-port capital expenditures than traditional WAN technologies.
