SAN BRIDGES AND ISCSI – Improving Block Level Access & Throughput

SAN BRIDGES AND ISCSI We often get asked what the difference is between NAS and SAN and how iSCSI protocals can improve access and throughput. Therefore, let’s first review a few basics about NAS (Network Attached Storage) and SAN (Storage Area Networks). Which Network…

Artificial Intelligence and WAN Acceleration

So what’s all the hype about AI accelerating your data over the WAN? Artificial Intelligence and WAN Acceleration are actually a perfect marriage – and here’s why! Up until now, IT directors have been compressing data, increasing bandwidth, caching and duplicating to try and…

The Effects of Latency on WAN Speed

So, what are the effects of latency on WAN speed and what are the typical values? What causes it and why is it important? Why does it differ from network to network? Let’s review the basics: Latency is a measure of delay.  In a network,…

Solving Slow WAN Speed

WAN Optimization Basics Following these easy steps can dramatically speed up your WAN transfers and keep you from losing your hair prematurely. Solving slow WAN speed(s) – the dilemma. But first, let’s review a few basic – WANs are simply networks that span large…

Solving Network Latency

Network latency is the time it takes for data or a request to go from the source to the destination. Solving network latency is critical to business success. Latency in networks is measured in milliseconds. The closer your latency is to zero, the better. Remember…

Accelerating Data Transfers For Long Distance Wan(s)

Optimizing WAN throughput is a major focus of government and corporate IT departments. Latency, packet loss and bandwidth limitations (to name a few) have traditionally been determining factors for how much and how fast data can be moved down a pipe. That is no…

WAN Optimization Techniques

WANs are simply networks that span large geographical locations. For example, corporations use these types of networks to transfer large amounts of information from office to office, between staff, clients, and to work with suppliers in remote or distant locations. WAN Optimization Techniques include…
