Bandwidth is a commodity item in today's
corporate environment. While corporate leaders
are trying to reign in IT budgets, to do more
with less, users are pushing the drive for more
bandwidth. Below are just a few examples:
- Mission
critical applications need to run across the
corporate VPN.
- Corporate
web-content, which is increasingly more
bandwidth intensive, needs
to get pushed out to potential and current
customers.
- Casual
web-browsing, not business critical, but
potentially bandwidth intensive.
Traditionally,
the answer to bandwidth limitations has been to
either increase the bandwidth or live with
increased slowness.
In the first solution, users get the required
bandwidth, but IT budgets take on an additional
financial burden. The second solution keeps the
accountants happy, but end-users, as well as
potentially customers, feel the pain of
over-subscribed telecommunication circuits. In
both cases, someone loses.
Delta
Communications has several bandwidth management
solutions that help maintain the balance between
increased IT costs and the need to have
additional bandwidth for business critical uses.
By employing the latest in bandwidth management
tools, Delta can ensure that business critical
traffic gets priority over non-critical traffic.
All of this can be done without the need to
increase bandwidth between sites or out to the
internet, ultimately saving IT dollars for the
