Background
As enterprise WANs grow, so do expectations. WANs are no longer just for transporting data between enterprise locations. WANs are expected to lower network operating costs, prioritize traffic and maximize application performance. Throwing bandwidth at growing WAN demands may appear to be a quick fix, but it can be costly and cannot fully address the needs of multi-location enterprises. Intelligent WAN optimization calls for improving the performance of business applications over WAN connections.
In this webinar, attendees will learn smarter ways to optimize the WAN through analyzing application needs and improving the efficiency of the WAN. Specific takeaways will include:
- Determining the current level of WAN optimization – how well do you know your network, applications and users?
- Real-life network examples – overview of common WAN dilemmas and optimization solutions
- Improving the efficiency of MPLS – identifying your top apps, rogue apps and effective use of real-time monitoring
- Network tools – critical visibility for making the most of Class of Service (CoS) settings
- Security optimization – preventing malicious activity which wreaks havoc on networks and bandwidth
After this webinar, attendees will know how to analyze their network, applications, and users, shape network traffic appropriately, place data strategically and leverage powerful tools to manage traffic—giving the key building blocks for a smarter WAN.
