Five Business Reasons for Optimizing Applications to More Locations
Webinar

Organizations that are deploying technologies for delivering applications to remote network locations are reporting significant business benefits from these deployments as measured by networking cost, employee productivity and efficiency of business processes. However, many organizations that could benefit from these types of technologies are currently not deploying them and even organizations that are currently using WAN optimization technologies report that it is not being deployed in more than 40% of their remote offices. This is mostly due to the fact that the traditional way of deploying WAN optimization technology is associated with significant upfront cost as well as cost of managing WAN optimization hardware appliances.

This live webinar will reveal innovative strategies that organizations are putting into place that allow them to experience the business benefits of WAN optimization deployments while eliminating traditional obstacles for using this type of technology.

- Aryaka Networks Launches a Cloud Solution for Application Delivery to Remote Sites -

Today, Aryaka Networks came out of stealth mode and announced its cloud solution for WAN optimization. The solution is based on a number of globally distributed points of presence for WAN optimization that sit on large carrier networks around the world. Aryaka allows organizations to deploy WAN optimization capabilities by using a SaaS platform and set up WAN optimization techniques in only a few clicks, without having to deploy any additional hardware.

The biggest area of change in the WAN optimization market over the last three years has been the delivery method of these solutions. The majority of announcements that have been made by WAN optimization vendors were centered around turning their hardware solutions into virtual appliances or enabling their products to better support managed WAN optimization services. This trend has been driven by the end-users’ request to simplify the management of WAN optimization solutions, reduce the total cost of ownership, support different network topologies and make these products more appealing for organizations that are deploying virtualization and cloud computing services. Aryaka’s solution takes this a step further and provides an innovative approach for addressing some of the key concerns that end-user organizations have about deploying WAN optimization solutions.

The trend of moving WAN optimization hardware out of the branch has been resonating with end-user organizations and a majority of WAN optimization vendors have been doing a good job of trying to adjust to it. However, Aryaka is not only taking WAN optimization solutions completely out of the branch, but also moving them outside of corporate firewalls, providing an almost CDN-like infrastructure for delivering these capabilities (which should not come as a surprise if you know that the founder of Aryaka was also a founder of Speedera Networks, a CDN company that was acquired by Akamai in 2005).
