    Enterprise demands on information technology have never been greater. In today's world it seems as though the IT team is responsible for keeping businesses running. Typically, a small IT team manages everything from application access to data storage regardless how far and wide it happens to be spread around the world. IT Managers are simultaneously responsible for application performance, device management, and strategic plans for staying ahead of the competition. At the same time, business managers are putting pressure on technology teams to cut costs, consolidate infrastructure, and meet an ever-growing list of end user needs. How can the IT team keep up?

  • More on latency

    Let's face it; even light takes time to travel thousands of miles. It's no wonder that when you add in your routers, switches, and other networking gear, there are delays added to your system. But it's not just the 20, 50, or even 200 milliseconds of delay that slow down your system: it's the combination of this latency with the "chattiness" of application protocols and TCP. What's worse, if your latency doubles, throughput is cut by 50 percent. For example, a 60 MB PowerPoint file could require 2,000 or 3,000 round trips to be sent across the WAN. With cross-country latency, that file could take 20 minutes or longer to send across the WAN!
