Major investments in business applications are at risk because of latency and speed over a wide area network. Server consolidation, outsourced applications, remote working, disaster recovery practices and bandwidth intensive applications such as video are all rapidly growing trends. Continual spending on additional bandwidth is not solving the problem and is not sustainable for the long-term.

Blue Coat technology accelerates business applications and secures web communications across the distributed enterprise. Blue Coat’s family of appliances and client-based solutions – deployed in branch offices, Internet gateways, endpoints and data centres – provide intelligent points of policy-based control to enable local and remote users to work efficiently and securely.
