  • Prudential Investment Company Australia (PICA) has improved security, achieved backups that are five times faster, and is saving $5,000 a month on bandwidth costs it no longer requires. All achieved by implementing Silver Peak WAN optimisation software. With more than 500 staff at 25 locations from Port Douglas to Melbourne, PICA generates substantial amounts of critical data. When Technical Services Manager Neal Krempin joined PICA, he found that hourly backups between the company’s data centre site in Ultimo, Sydney, and the disaster recovery (DR) site in Port Melbourne often failed to complete on time, exposing the company to the risk of serious data loss.

  • Extending enterprise services and applications to branch offices often presents many IT challenges. Sluggish Web applications and long file transfers can threaten user productivity and increase corporate risk of data loss. Topcon Positioning Systems faced these challenges, and while the company knew it could solve its problems with WAN optimization, the company realized deploying WAN optimization hardware would be impractical and expensive for many reasons.
  • Whether you replicate data offsite for disaster recovery, share files between offices, or deliver voice and video services to remote offices, the wide area network (WAN) is a potential constraint on IT service delivery. Even applications that perform well within the data center may become erratic or fail completely due to the WAN’s unpredictable quality, distance, and limited bandwidth.
