WAN Optimization

When it comes to optimizing the WAN, there are two obstacles to overcome. The first is the WAN link’s limited bandwidth. As the pioneer in WAN compression, Expand understands the delicate balance between analyzing traffic for compression and causing queuing and latency by interrupting the flows. The Expand compression technology focuses on performance, using low latency, lossless techniques that work on all applications and consistently deliver average bandwidth increases between 100% and 400%, with peaks over 1,000%.

The second obstacle is aligning the network to the business at the LAN-WAN bottleneck. Expands Qos is easy to set up and immediately ensures that the applications running the business are running unimpeded on the WAN. It is not just prioritization, but includes sophistication to combat congestion, mark packets for downstream Qos handling (i.e., MPLS), and rate control shaping to make sure flows get the bandwidth they need. With both compression and Qos, Expands WAN Optimization will turn an expensive and low-bandwidth WAN into a strategic asset that will perform better, deliver more, and ensure business priorities are met
