WAN hits the gas

Slow connections in your company network despite the latest technology? T-Systems has the solution to increase performance and transmission quality – without new IT.

If a company network is too slow despite the latest IT systems and high bandwidths, the WAN is often the cause of the problem. The WAN – short for wide area network – links the company’s individual sites and IT systems to form a company network on which employees can exchange data and communicate with each other across continents. Only a complete overview of the WAN – from the applications used through to the determination of minimum requirements – creates the conditions necessary for an efficient network with an optimum cost-benefit ratio. This is the approach taken by Application Performance Management. It uses various technologies to improve the WAN, accelerating individual applications.

The combination is the key

The solution not only controls the network quality, but also makes targeted improvements to the data communications between applications. Urgently needed programs are given preference. They are prioritised in the WAN and given sufficient capacity. Since this process is dynamic, i.e. adapted to the specific requirement, companies using APM reduce the costs of their IT resources.
