Expand Networks, a leader in application acceleration over the Wide Area Network (WAN) and positioned in the Gartner’s Leaders Quadrant for WAN Optimisation Controllers 2007, was recently named Acceleration Product of the Year with its Compass Platform, at the Techworld Awards 2008, in London.
Selected by an independent panel of judges, entrants are evaluated for this prominent award on strategy, creativity, innovation and effectiveness. “Without doubt, the Techworld awards are highly regarded in the industry and it’s a fantastic achievement to be announced as winners.

He attributed Expand Networks’ win to the innovation and achievements it has demonstrated again this year in helping its customers improve remote user productivity, even in the most complicated environments.
