storage ICT The optimal solution
It is critical that organisations are aware that the only way to ensure optimal data delivery is to establish a fully equipped network that will be able to cope with the increased flow of traffic cloud storage initiatives bring. Failing to do so will result in an environment plagued by issues which will only lead to performance and business benefits being compromised. To do this, organisations need to optimise the WAN, which can reduce over 90 percent of the traffic across the network and provide the scalability needed to support all current and emerging applications.
WAN optimisation is essential for the migration of large volumes of data, and ensures that the data is easily and rapidly available. Essentially, all three network challenges need to be addressed to optimise replication throughput across a WAN, which will help guarantee successful cloud storage while maximising RPOs. This can be achieved with three real-time optimisation techniques.
Latency mitigation using various protocol acceleration techniques to overcome the impact of distance, Forward error correction (FEC) and packet-order correction (POC) overcome packet delivery issues in real-
time, while quality of service (QoS) enables enterprises to prioritise key traffic to ensure it gets allocated necessary resources, and deduplicaiton and compression maximize bandwidth utilisation. By deduplicating traffic at the IP network layer, any enterprise application is made more efficient. The investment made to improve cloud storage can be amortized across other enterprise applications. More data can ultimately be accessed and transferred between the cloud and the user in less time – making it even easier for organisations to enjoy the benefits storing data in the cloud has to offer.
As organisations invest in cloud storage initiatives, optimising the WAN has become crucial, perhaps now more than ever, for organisations to make sure their investment does not lose value over time. Stabilizing the network needs to be top of the agenda. By providing 20-times faster movement of data and reducing redundant data transmission by more than 50 percent, WAN optimisation technology let’s company meet their RPOs and deliver any cloud application.
A fully equipped network will enable companies to meet their business objectives, while allowing them to take full advantage of their cloud investment. Ignore this, however, and the cloud investment will either underperform or fail entirely – a risk that today’s businesses cannot afford.
