Fortunately, Maximo users in even the most remote locations can enjoy response times
on par with users at headquarters when Expand’s technology platform is on the job.
The Accelerator platform integrates the needed Application Acceleration technologies
into one appliance, providing proven solutions to combat WAN congestion and latency
– the two biggest contributors of degraded response time performance for remote
users.
To start, Expand can guarantee that bandwidth for Maximo is a priority on your
network. Easy to configure Quality of Service (QoS) ensures that Maximo is as important
to your network as it is to your business, giving it the bandwidth and priority
it needs to perform well. Additionally, Expands’ pioneering compression techniques
will ensure that Maximo and all other applications have bandwidth available far
in excess of the network link speed. Combined, QoS and compression will help ensure
that network congestion will not bog down your Maximo response time.
With congestion in check, Expand is able to turn its attention on latency and its
performance robbing effects. Using a sophisticated TCP acceleration technology originally
defined by NASA scientists, Accelerators can mitigate many of the effects of latency
on WAN links, as well as make use of all available bandwidth. Coupled with an advanced
error correction algorithm, this protocol acceleration makes your WAN transactions
perform as if they were on the LAN. In combination with QoS and compression, remote
user response time will be greatly improved and guaranteed to stay that way regardless
of the traffic mix on the network. With excellent response time, all users can productively
use Maximo.
