whitepaper Expand Optimizes MPLS Network and Provides Foundation for Server Based Computing Project at Hill McGlynn2008-04-01 Expand Networks
  Hill McGlynn is one of the UK's leading construction recruitment specialists supply permanent and freelance construction personnel throughout the UK and overseas. Operating in an MPLS environment for WAN connectivity between its headquarters and 14 remote locations in the UK, Hill McGlynn initiated a server based computing project running Microsoft Terminal Services. As the business grew, these applications started to suffer from significant performance problems caused by latency, congestion and a lack of QoS which needed to be addressed. Following a recommendation from Softcat UK plc, a leading supplier of IT solutions to the UK Enterprise sector, Expand Networks' Compass was chosen as the unique platform to improve the performance of Terminal Services and optimize the MPLS network.

whitepaper Expand Networks Boost MS Terminal Services & Citrix Performance2008-04-01 Expand Networks
  Regal Ware, a leading cookware manufacturer, is one of the most widely respected names in the housewares industry. Regal Ware operates an extensive Wide Area Network (WAN). 90% of Regal Ware's remote access connectivity is supported through Citrix applications and Microsoft Terminal Services. With such a high dependence on server based computing applications, Regal Ware needed more WAN capacity to improve the performance of its networked applications and services while boosting remote connectivity. Regal Ware turned to Expand's bandwidth-boosting Accelerators to boost its Citrix and Microsoft Windows Terminal Services performance over the WAN in multiple remote locations.

whitepaper Expand Networks Implements a WAFS Solution With SAP and Oracle Acceleration Across 50 of CAT Group's Remote Sites2008-04-01 Expand Networks
  Of late, CAT Group recognized the need to completely renew its 5-year-old servers in its remote offices. CAT Group looked at two different technical solutions in order to achieve this. One option was to buy new local file servers for the remote European subsidiaries, and the second, was to consolidate all servers in an EDS datacenter in Paris through WAFS appliances. In both cases, the remote users needed to have consistent or improved application performances on SAP and Microsoft Office software without having to increase WAN bandwidth. CAT chose Expand Networks' WAFS solution, as it was the more powerful solution, and the only one that remained identical, whatever the remote office size.

whitepaper First Industrial Realty Trust Locks in Superior Customer Service With High-Performance Secure Network2008-04-01 Juniper Networks
  First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc. provides industrial real estate solutions for every stage of a customer's supply chain, no matter how large or complex. The company needed a reliable, high-performance network to support its growing operations. When the company migrated from a Frame Relay network to a state-of-the-art MPLS network, it needed a new routing and firewall infrastructure that could keep up with the performance requirements and new applications. First Industrial Realty Trust deployed Juniper Networks Secure Access and WX application acceleration as well as Juniper Networks routers and firewalls.

whitepaper SLS Bearings Speeds Up Supply Chain With Juniper Networks WXC Application Acceleration Platform2008-04-01 Juniper Networks
  SLS Bearings is a 44-year-old Singaporean company which provides bearings, belts, chains, couplings, maintenance tools, and other equipment to a wide variety of industries, including steel, mining, marine, engineering, petrochemical, electronics, and food and beverages. SLS Bearings wanted to overcome severe bandwidth congestion in a branch office which resulted in very slow customer response, poor customer service reputation, and local user frustration. SLS Bearings deployed Juniper Networks WXC 250. The impact of the deployment was immediate, with fast and consistent application response across the WAN, ensuring uncompromised access to mission-critical applications and services.

whitepaper Darlington Building Society Invests in Expand Networks to Support MPLS Investment2008-04-01 Expand Networks
  Due to the dispersed nature of its branches, Darlington Building Society made a significant investment in a new MPLS network to provide more control over shared resources and to form the foundation of its disaster recovery strategy. However, the migration to MPLS didn't run as smoothly as expected. Darlington Building Society experienced significant problems with specific financial and mortgage applications such as Tietoenator's Summit and Activate, and other applications including Microsoft Excel and Word underperformed in the new MPLS environment. After evaluating products from Expand and Packeteer in the MPLS environment, Darlington Building Society selected the Expand Compass platform for its superior ability to accelerate all applications and safeguard the investment in MPLS.

whitepaper Expand Networks Implements WAFS Solutions and Consolidates All Servers2008-04-01 Expand Networks
  Insurance leader of the building and construction companies in France since 1859, SMABTP solves all insurance needs in this market segment, covering both employers and employees insurance contracts. SMABTP branch offices were equipped with local file servers that were old and not powerful enough. Moreover, data was not entirely protected, as the backup tapes remained on site. In order to improve the file services of its branch offices, SMABTP looked into the WAFS manufacturers offering. SMABTP chose Expand Network's WAFS solutions, as it was the only solution able to suppress all servers in their branches.

whitepaper WAN and Application Optimization: Enhancing the WAN Experience With Performance Routing and Wide Area Application Services2008-04-01 Cisco Systems
  As applications are being centralized, users are becoming increasingly distributed, and as IT organizations are constantly challenged to deliver more services, such as rich content and video to the customers, the performance limitations of WAN, such as limited bandwidth, significantly longer latency, and packet loss, are seriously slowing down application delivery. The Cisco WAN and Application Optimization solution is a set of tools and techniques working together to improve the reliability, performance and delivery of applications securely across an arbitrary network. Cisco Wide Area Application Services (WAAS) and Cisco Performance Routing (PfR) are two of the prominent WAN Optimization tools to optimize application delivery - at both the application level and network level.   
whitepaper How to Be Successful With WAN Application Delivery: Mapping Optimization Techniques to Applications2008-03-14 Ashton, Metzler & Associates
  Ensuring acceptable application performance has become an important goal for virtually all IT organizations. In spite of its importance, few IT organizations claim that they have successfully achieved this goal. This white paper identifies some of the general hurdles that IT organizations have to overcome in order to achieve this goal and discusses in detail how the determination of which application optimization techniques to utilize depends on the applications that the IT organization needs to support. This white paper concludes by describing steps that IT organizations should take in order to implement an effective process for managing application performance.

whitepaper Hybrid GPRS/3G, ADSL Wide Area Networking Systems2008-03-14 Westermo
  This white paper attempts to describe how control networks can be implemented over WAN technologies such as GPRS, 3G (UMTS) and ADSL. Although the white paper primarily discusses these technologies the principles can be applied to any IP environment connected over any media. The communications requirements for ever more complex control and monitoring schemes for utilities or industrial processes will not necessarily be met by any one technology alone. Coverage issues on mobile networks and bandwidth limitations will require an alternative media such as ADSL to be used to create links to some locations. By using IP as the transport and addressing mechanism the various remote locations can be seen as just nodes on a large WAN.
