Application Performance
Eliminating performance issues is all about identifying and removing bottlenecks, whether they are physical constraints, or protocol and application limitations.
Underperforming applications can create many issues throughout an organisation. From generating idle time while a user waits for files and electronic documents to traverse a network, or letting customers down when they are trying to fill their Internet shopping baskets.
Eliminating performance issues is all about identifying and removing bottlenecks, whether they are physical constraints, or protocol and application limitations. These are generally found in two main areas of the network - the WAN and the Data Centre.
- WAN Application Acceleration and Traffic Management
- Datacentre Application Acceleration and Traffic Management
- Traffic/Application Shaping
- Internet Availability
WAN Application Acceleration and Traffic Management
Improve the performance of applications across WANs whilst managing long term investment in carrier services.
As applications and files continue to grow in size and number, it's no surprise that today's networks are put under such pressure. In an ideal world, WAN performance would mirror that of the local network: Ethernet-like high speed, quality of service, no bottlenecks and exceptionally low latency. However, businesses don't operate in a perfect world, there are always trade-off's and its bandwidth versus cost.
WAN application acceleration helps reduce the impact of this trade off by combining compression, caching, prioritisation and latency reduction to help improve the performance of applications across WANs whilst managing long term investment in carrier services.

Datacentre Application Acceleration and Traffic Management
Utilise the support of application acceleration and traffic management technology to improve performance and the user experience.
Many companies are migrating towards web-enabled applications in the drive to exert operational efficiencies and infrastructure simplicity. Unfortunately, applications are now subjected to the chatty nature of the Web and are susceptible to latency resulting to poor user performance.
The original aims of the migration can be compromised without the support of application acceleration to improve performance and the user experience.
The platforms within the Avnet portfolio are:
Traffic/Application Shaping
The key to improving application performance is first understanding what applications are traversing the network, their usage and current response levels. Traffic and application technology can provide that intelligence giving the foundation to categorise mission and non-mission applications and then apply compression and acceleration techniques to optimise application and user performance.
Internet Availability
With enterprises becoming increasingly distributed and the workforce dispersed at remote offices around the world, company networks are complex environments using a multitude of technologies to maintain connectivity and access to the Internet. Any delays or disruptions can have serious financial consequences to the business.
To maintain a reliable WAN connection and guarantee the fast delivery of applications to remote users, we recommend:
