During application development, organizations typically focus on ensuring that applications are developed on time, within budget constraints, and with few security vulnerabilities. Because of this focus, the impact of the WAN on performance is often overlooked until after the application has been fully developed and deployed.
This white paper discusses the challenges associated with ensuring acceptable application performance. Learn how IT organizations are using WAN emulation tools to improve the performance of applications, plan for change and improve the relationship between the application and network groups. Explore the steps necessary to deploy WAN emulation for improved application performance and identify key characteristics to look for in an emulation tool. Gain insight into the range of performance initiatives that are now being supported by IT.
