WAN Optimization:
Turnkey solution for enterprises and service providers

WAN performance problems cannot be solved by buying more bandwidth alone.

The typical enterprise today has decentralized operations that can span hundreds or thousands of miles. These remote locations are usually connected by wide-area networks (WANs) which allow information to be shared over secure public or dedicated private links. The volume of this interoffice traffic has been steadily increasing, so that for many organizations, the WAN has either become a bottleneck, or soon will be.

• The core issue may be high network latency, which is not impacted by adding bandwidth. To use an analogy, adding lanes to a highway does not allow cars to go faster than the speed limit.
• Many applications were designed for local area networks (LANs) and rely on protocols and techniques that are inefficient on WANs. Higher network capacity will not address this problem.

Another approach is to replicate important data at all locations, effectively limited the amount of data that traverses the WAN. This technique solves the performance problem, but does so by creating a network of multiple file, database, and email servers that must be synchronized and replicated constantly. This additional complexity may be worse than the original WAN performance problem. WAN optimization can provide the performance boost that geographically dispersed organizations need without introducing complexity. TorreyPoint has extensive experience with WAN optimization that can benefit any organization with multiple remote offices.

The TorreyPoint WAN Optimization solution addresses the root causes of poor network performance, leading to more efficient use of bandwidth, more responsive applications, and increased employee productivity.

WAN optimization addresses the root causes of slow networks and poor application performance.

The causes of poor WAN performance may be buried in the network, but the most prominent effect is that the user experience is significantly degraded. File transfers take so much time that employees are reluctant to download needed information. Teams collaborate by conference call rather than online collaboration tools that are unresponsive. Productivity suffers, and IT teams struggle unsuccessfully to pinpoint the cause.

The TorreyPoint WAN Optimization solution addresses the most common challenges that enterprise WANs exhibit today, for example:

• High network latency
• Poor application performance
• Slow, unreliable backups
• Network barriers to consolidation and virtualization
  

Unlike adding bandwidth and other “band-aid” measures, the TorreyPoint solution addresses the underlying issues that cause poor WAN performance. Our team of underlying issues that cause poor WAN performance. Our team of engineers analyses the problems and pinpoints the core causes, for example, applications that are not optimized for execution on the WAN.

Our solution starts with WAN optimization products from top vendors such as Riverbed, Cisco and Juniper. We augment these best-in-class products with architecture, design, and integration services delivered by our trained consultants—experts with successful WAN optimizations under their belts. The expertise that TorreyPoint brings to the table allows our technology partners to use us as a trusted solutions integrator when customers demand exceptional technical knowledge and robust solutions.

Let TorreyPoint unleash the power of the enterprise WAN.

An underperforming WAN is an ongoing resource sink for the organization. The TorreyPoint
WAN Optimization solution can transform the network into a strategic asset that offers tangible business value:

• Improve the user experience through faster file transfer and more responsive application
• Reduce WAN bandwidth use and expense—typically by 65 to 90 percent
• Boost IT and end-user productivity
• Improve business processes
• Cut server costs and routine maintenance
• Delay network upgrades by years
• Enable network consolidation in remote and branch offices

The TorreyPoint WAN Optimization solution is the ideal choice for enterprises with underperforming WANs. We are technology partners with some of the best companies in the WAN optimization market. Our engineers are fully certified in multiple WAN optimization products and have the training and experience to architect, design, test and implement end-to- end network optimization solutions.

TorreyPoint has a reputation for delivering on time, under budget, and staying with the project until the local IT group is trained and ready to take over operations. The WAN can be a strategic asset for today’s global enterprise—but only when operating at peak performance. The TorreyPoint WAN Optimization solution unleashes the power of the enterprise WAN to drive competitiveness and employee productivity.
