Mobility Services Platform (MSP) Using MSP in Wide Area Networks (Carriers) | 2008-06-01 | Motorola |
| Wireless Data as a commercial carrier offering has adopted various wireless standards and has evolved over time with technology improvements in what are called "Generations", or "G" (i.e. 1G, 2G, etc). With each technology improvement introduces higher data rates, additional features, and network enhancements. In the United States the largest wireless carriers for GSM are Cingular (now AT&T) and T-Mobile. GSM data services are defined as Edge, GPRS, UMTS and HSDPA. CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) is a digital technology developed by Qualcomm and delivered by various wireless carriers (mostly in North America).

Informa Global Markets Accelerates Real-Time Financial Information Services With Juniper Networks Application Acceleration | 2008-06-01 | Juniper Networks |
| For more than 30 years, Informa Global Markets (IGM) has been at the forefront of delivering real-time independent news and analysis of global financial markets. IGM needed to reduce the effect of global network latency. The around-the-clock nature of IGM's business means that information needs to be disseminated to all locations in real time. IGM chose the Juniper Networks application acceleration platforms to improve application response time and optimize WAN efficiency by accelerating the delivery and performance of applications. The first phase of the deployment called for installing the Juniper Networks WXC 590 platforms in each of the company's three data centers.

Sports Retailer Deploys Domain Controllers in Stores to Keep Registers Ringing | 2008-06-01 | Microsoft |
| A large a specialty retailer in the United States with approximately 450 stores wanted to update its older MS-DOS - based Point-Of-Sale (POS) application with a next-generation POS program from NCR. However, the new software required user authentication over the Wide Area Network (WAN) using domain controllers at headquarters. A big concern arose: if the WAN went down, stores couldn't ring up sales. The retailer found its answer with the Read-Only Domain Controller (RODC) technology in the Windows Server 2008 operating system. Using RODCs, the retailer will be able to place a security-enhanced domain controller in each store so that registers can continue to ring even in the event of a WAN outage.

Denso Boosts Global WAN Performance With Juniper Networks WX Platform | 2008-06-01 | Juniper Networks |
| As a global corporation, Denso has operations in more than 30 countries around the world. The company has specified a required response time of five seconds or less after a request has been entered into the system. However, as the amount of data flowing across the network increased, it had to take urgent measures to ensure that this requirement could be met and to improve the overall performance of the WAN. Denso deployed Juniper Networks WX platform for WAN acceleration. Juniper Networks WX is a best-in-class application acceleration platform which provides broad support for Web-based, client/server, custom software, voice and video applications.

The Flattening Internet Topology: Natural Evolution, Unsightly Barnacles or Contrived Collapse? | 2008-05-21 | Hewlett-Packard |
| This paper collects and analyzes traceroute measurements to show that large content providers (e.g., Google, Microsoft, Yahoo!) are deploying their own wide-area networks, bringing their networks closer to users, and bypassing Tier-1 ISPs on many paths. This trend, should it continue and be adopted by more content providers, could flatten the Internet topology, and may result in numerous other consequences to users, Internet Service Providers (ISPs), content providers, and network researchers.

Engineering Firm Improves Collaboration, Lowers Travel Costs, Boosts Bandwidth by 230 Percent Using F5 WANJet | 2008-05-14 | F5 Networks |
| Graef, Anhalt, Schloemer & Associates GASAI's great success had led to rapid growth and a subsequent strain on the company's Wide Area Network (WAN). All applications are housed in the central Milwaukie, Wisconsin, data center, with all Internet traffic routed over T1 lines through a Milwaukie-based proxy server. The GASAI IT staff realized that it had two options for improving its WAN bandwidth: purchase application acceleration appliances or increase the bandwidth in each branch office. In the end, the company selected the F5 WANJet WAN optimization appliance because of its core TDR and TCP optimization feature set and price.

Sweden's HL Display Picks Expand Networks for Server Centralisation and Faster WAN | 2008-04-30 | Expand Networks |
| HL Display's partner, IT consultancy XLENT, operates the firm's network and handles the distribution of programmes. However, many of the smaller offices lack IT technicians, which have caused problems with handling local servers. Each part of the group has a back-up server but all email has been routed via the server hall in Sundsvall in northern Sweden. This has resulted in unacceptably long response times for regional offices across the world. HL Display deployed Expand's Accelerator 6930, which covers the entire region in the same way as the equivalent hardware. The WAFS technology built into the Accelerator 6930 and 4930 allows a larger amount of data to be transferred with the same response times as before the consolidation.
