As WAN Optimization projects increase in size, scope and importance, planning and
implementing them on time and on budget poses enormous challenges and risks. Now
you can take advantage of the experience and expertise of our network engineers
to implement a WAN optimization solution that will serve your needs effectively
from Day One.
Our Implementation and Planning Services consist of two core offerings: On-Site
Deployment and Remote Deployment. You can rely on both to help address the entire
implementation process from planning to full deployment including installing the
solution, configuration, fine-tuning and knowledge transfer with your staff.
What’s Included in Implementation and Planning Services
| Design & Site Assessments | Planning | Installation | Knowledge Transfer |
When planning a WAN Optimization project, a range of questions must be addressed
such as:
- What happens when new applications are deployed?
- How is performance affected by network load?
- Do higher capacity WAN links behave the same as lower capacity links?
- How easy and cost effective is it to add new offices to the network?
Addressing these and many other issues, Expand will design the WAN optimization
solution based upon the needs of your network taking into consideration existing
devices such as firewalls, routers, switches etc. We will collect all essential
information needed for planning the installation including:
- Network topology
- Compatibility issues, if any, with existing devices
- Application requirements (Types of application used? Versions? Ports used? Compatibility?)
- User requirements (What type of users? Environment? Platforms?)
