Four steps to high-performance WAN and Internet

Congestion, latency, protocol design, sudden bursts of disruptive traffic: these issues cause problems with application and network performance on the WAN and Internet links. Plus, new factors make the calculus even more complicated: social networking, BYOD, cloud applications, growing video content, even IPv6 traffic growing in the shadows. It is tempting to respond to these problems by jumping to a single set of technologies that fix certain aspects of performance. This Blue Coat Systems white paper looks at four simple ways you can take advantage to gain visibility and control for an effective WAN performance strategy.
