Wide-Area Data Services.
An Integrated Approach to Improving Application Performance.
Given the importance of anytime, anywhere application access, IT departments are turning to wide-area data services to improve and accelerate application performance across the wide-area network (WAN). Using WDS, IT can provide LAN-like access to data and applications anywhere throughout the enterprise network, enabling real-time collaboration for users in branch offices and mobile workers all over the world.

Unlike these individual approaches that only address a single cause of poor application performance across the WAN, a complete WDS solution enables the benefits of all of these approaches within a single, unified architecture.
Using WDS, enterprises can improve application performance across the network typically by 5 to 50 times and in some cases up to 100 times, and can simultaneously reduce WAN bandwidth utilization by 65 to 95%. These dramatic results allow businesses to take advantage of their networks, infrastructure, and applications in ways that they had never imagined possible.
