What Technologies Have the Best ROI?

Among 100 IT Managers with Strategic Decision-Making Authority from Fortune 1000 Companies


Why WAN Optimization Ranks So High?

WAN limitations contributed server & storage sprawl

60-70% servers deployed in branch offices today 1Most users work outside data centerFile sharing, print / domain controller, applicationLow asset utilization & high operational expensesConstant threat of data leakage

Server centralization left users behindPoor application performance – low productivity

Costly bandwidth upgrades didn’t help

Successful server & storage virtualization mandates WAN optimization
