  • Higher Productivity: Less wait time means that more work can get done.  When you have poor WAN performance, it's harder to access applications and data.  Avoid this lull in productivity by turning to Riverbed for products that will accelerate applications over the WAN by 10x, 50x, or even 100x in some cases!
  • Cost Savings: You can reach out to new markets with an infrastructure supported by Riverbed.  Without such an efficient system, it could cost a lot of money to tap into these new markets when you consider the necessary manpower and infrastructure.  WAN optimization allows you to leverage your current resources by keeping employees connected, even over long distances.

It's always helpful when you have access to the right tools all in one place.  A centralized control configuration such as the Riverbed Central Management Console (CMC) makes it easy to deploy and manage Steelhead appliances throughout your wide area network.  Its variable reporting modes allow you to customize the way that you receive information about the system, whether you would like to look at a specific recent report or go back a year.  With this ease of use, you can spend less time worrying about network performance and focus more on other aspects of your business.

There's also a virtual edition of the CMC available to all Riverbed customers, service providers, and systems integrator partners.  This is a great alternative if you are looking for a flexible low-cost option that doesn't skimp out on all of the features.  You can still have high scalability, appliance and network health monitoring, as well as aggregate performance reports.

Make sure to gain control over your WAN performance by knowing what's going on at all times.  Network performance tools can really help you manage your data center architecture, stay on top of applications, and improve overall productivity.

Solutions for the Home Office or Mobile Employee

Wednesday, August 25, 2010 by Peter Bender
Working at home can be great for the employee, but it does sometimes provide complications for an IT manager.  Transcend United can help you make your mobile and home-office based employees every bit as productive as those at headquarters.   

According to Forrester Research, about 20% of all employees are mobile information workers who travel frequently or telecommute.  In addition,  even employees who do not travel frequently have come to expect support for mobile access to email and other corporate applications, in response to corporate expectations that they be "on call" outside of normal working hours.  Transcend United Technologies offers several solutions to help companies better manage infrastructure for mobile workers.
 

Application Performance and Network Access.
 

Transcend United Technologies is a premier Riverbed partner.  With Steelhead Mobile software from Riverbed, companies of any size can give mobile workers LAN-like access to corporate files and applications no matter where they are, anywhere in the world. With a simple software package installed transparently on laptops or desktops, Steelhead Mobile can overcome the challenges of variable locations, inconsistent links, and high-latency environments that all conspire against mobile workers.

User Authentication and Security.

"Companies have more mobile workers than ever, and they want to give those workers all the tools they need to do their job effectively," says Laura Koetzle, an analyst at Forrester Research in Cambridge, Massachusetts.  But much of the infrastructure that enables mobile computing is insecure and authentication policies are difficult to manage for mobile workers.  Transcend United Technologies offers secure two-factor authentication systems from RSA that simplify secure access to enterprise applications and network resources.
 

Remote backups.

How many mobile workers regularly backup their laptops?  Surprisingly few.  How many backup their smart phones?  Next to none.  Transcend United Technologies offers solutions that seamlessly protect data on laptops and other mobile devices without any end user involvement.  And you pay only one low fee based on the amount of data you backup, not a per user software charge.

Blackberry Management and Recovery.  

Transcend United offers continuous data replication and fast disaster recovery for Blackberry Enterprise Servers (BES).  Any BES server at one or more of your locations can be protected in real-time and can easily be "failed-over" to one of our SAS 70 Type II certified disaster recovery centers.  If disaster strikes your business, you'll have this primary communications system up and running in about 15 minutes.
 



Inexpensive high definition video conferencing.

The future is here.  Transcend United offers incredibly high-quality, low-bandwidth, inexpensive personal video conference equipment from Lifesize.  You simply won't believe how clear the picture is, even at 512K of bandwidth.  And these systems easily pay for themselves by reducing travel costs.

 

 
The bottom line:  mobile and home office workers can have the same accessibility as in-office employees when you use services from Transcend United. 

Transcend United Technologies LLC, a member of the 2010 VAR 500, combines cost-effective technology, experienced people, and world-class service to help organizations optimize their IT and communications infrastructure.  Transcend United delivers products and expertise in key technologies including Voice-over-IP telephony, WAN Optimization, data center management, and data replication.  With these offerings, Transcend United helps organizations solve real business problems such as improving application performance for branch offices, reducing voice, data, and video telecommunications costs, ensuring business continuity in case of a disaster, and reducing staffing and operations costs in the data center.    For more information, please visit www.transcendunited.com.





Business-Oriented Network Analytics

Tuesday, August 24, 2010 by Peter Bender
Your business needs visibility to know when problems exist within WAN systems.  Not just any network solution will give you the speed and analytical tools necessary to assess and monitor performance; you need a solution that will give you further insight.  WAN acceleration products from Transcend United will give you the edge on visibility and analytics.  You can check up on how your infrastructure is running and gain a better understanding of how each application is performing.  If there is ever a decline in performance, pre-set alerts will let you know about the inefficiency so that you are able to correct it immediately. 

This further insight into specific areas for WAN performance optimization will allow you to better manage surface level agreements, analyze future business priorities, and reduce response-time to any issues that arise.


You can use business-oriented analytics to solve problems faster and make your business more productive.  For example, Riverbed's Steelhead appliances, available from Transcend United, provide the highest level of wide area network performance across the broadest range of applications.  These solutions are also fully scalable so that you can never outgrow them, we'll just help you expand.
