Blue Coat Technology Brief Sample

Here are a few concrete reasons why you should contact Blue Coat today and start working towards greater visibility of your network.

To maximize your return on network investments for business application delivery. You’ve invested a fortune to set up and maintain your company’s network and WANs. But if you’re only using a portion of the possible bandwidth, or if your business isn’t seeing all of the potential benefits from the network, then you’re throwing money down the drain. With application-level visibility of network activity, you’ll take the first step towards pinpointing what’s working (and fixing what’s not).

To classify and prioritize business and recreational traffic. With the surge in popularity of social networking, your network is becoming anti-social to getting real work done. Visibility will free you to see what percent of your bandwidth is going towards YouTube, Facebook and iTunes. And what percentage is going towards businesscritical applications. With the facts in hand, you can then make informed decisions.

To align bandwidth costs, usage, and upgrades with business requirements. When your network gets sluggish and those nagging complaint emails start piling up in your Inbox, the knee-jerk reaction is to throw money at more bandwidth or unilateral acceleration. But is that really the best solution? In fact, it’s only when you have visibility into network activity (from A to Z) that you can you make intelligent decisions about what solutions are most beneficial.
