It's Not The WAN Size That Matters, It's What You Do With It
Companies with remote offices need their WAN links to transfer the data at near rated speeds. However, companies typically greatly underutilised these expensive links. Configuring each server to work efficiently with the networking switches must take into account a wide variety of elements, including size of the link, transmit and receive buffers, type of traffic, protocols used, distance of users from source, etc.
One way to increase throughput is to install a WAN acceleration device at either end of the link. This will improve the performance of certain types of traffic while ignoring other types. However, WAN acceleration devices come with a high capital cost and require their own specialised management. As well, these devices terminate the TCP session at either end, creating a ‘black hole’ of information.
“Veloxum improves WAN performance using existing servers and networks without terminating the TCP session or adding any hardware or software”
Veloxum dramatically improves WAN throughput using existing servers and network. Veloxum automatically evaluates all aspects of the WAN link, then updates the servers' configuration settings at either end to maximise throughput. Veloxum often improves WAN throughput up to 800%, and it does it using existing servers, networks and drivers. As well, your current management tools continue to provide full visibility into the network.

You may benefit from installing a WAN acceleration device, but before you make that purchase, optimise your servers to see what your existing networks can deliver. You’ve made the investment already, now it’s time to get what you paid for.
Even if you have already purchased a WAN accelerator, you can derive even more benefit from it through a properly optimised server.
Either way, let Veloxum improve your WAN utilisation by evaluating and tuning your servers.
Performance Improvements
Veloxum increases the density, load, and network throughput capacity of distributed applications. It does so by optimising the manufacturer supplied server and client settings. It optimises based on a variety of factors including the type of hosted application and location of users, and within the vendor supported range configuration parameters.
