Network Virtualisation
Wide area networks are constantly under pressure, with increasing numbers of applications contending for bandwidth and more users working remotely.
Implementing server, storage or desktop virtualization also inevitably means consolidating and moving these resources to a single or reduced number of sites with users gaining access via the wide area network. These users are at risk of experiencing unacceptable service if the network cannot handle the demands placed upon it.
Through network virtualisation, your customers can give their remote offices and employees speedy, easy access to data, files and applications. Users experience reliable service delivery.
A dedicated acceleration appliance is deployed at each end of a network connection. This increases data transfer speed and the capacity of the connection without the expense of adding extra telecommunications bandwidth.
This ensures that users in remote offices are not disadvantaged or suffer from reduced service levels due to network restriction. At the same time, the business avoids having to buy more bandwidth capacity just to service peak-time activity and fluctuating demand.
Network acceleration underpins wider virtualization strategies, enhances remote backup and disaster recovery performance whilst improving large file transfers and the overall user experience.
Key Network Questions:
• Are you planning to implement a virtual desktop infrastructure or move storage and servers to a more centralised location? Is your network a potentially limiting factor in your overall consolidation and virtualisation strategy?
• Do you have employees in remote offices and/or teleworkers who need reliable, fast access to applications and data? Do these users need the same consistently high network speeds and access as their HQ-based colleagues? • Can you guarantee acceptable network performance?
• Are you constantly upgrading and spending more on network bandwidth charges and are you experiencing bottlenecks at peak times?
• Are you able to deliver timely and effective backups offsite from remote branch offices?
Network Virtualisation Benefits:
• LAN-like performance at the remote site improves productivity. Better data traffic management and throughput will eliminate bottlenecks without increasing bandwidth.
• Valuable enterprise key data can be centrally stored and managed, eliminating duplication of corporate data whilst improving access to important information.
• New applications can be quickly rolled out.
• Centralised management of all IT functions within the remote environment.
• Increased speed and capacity enable effective offsite backup.
• Consistent provisioning for business continuity and disaster recovery managed within the data centre.
• Supports a move to a more effective and efficient virtualised pool of storage.
• Reduced bandwidth leads to reduced costs and latency is reduced.
• More capacity from the existing bandwidth, greatly reducing costs.
