Slow Flow Is Bad For Business!
Latency! What is Latency? It is that nightmare that will keep your company from moving at an efficient speed. It sneaks up on your organization while it is sleeping, with its ‘Eyes Wide Shut’. Sorry Mr. Cruise. It is the last thing you want your end users to deal with, but they do, and they cry and complain, and those who are not so savvy as the others, do not realize it happening, but they are even more unproductive. Because things are just that slow. It is much like driving on the LA Freeway during rush hour as apposed to doing so at night when things are lest congested. F5 is more like that night drive, a smooth and stress reduced cruise.
I have been hearing much about Wan Optimization as of late and I must say I am beginning to hear many great things about it. However there are many naysayers out there. If you happen to be one of them. Take the time of to learn more about it before shooting it down. F5 offers a bevy of solutions, and WAN optimization just happens to be one of them.

How’s Traffic
Recently I sat through an awesome meeting. Somewhere between the muffin I consumed and me day dreaming about the calories that I have now burn off. The meeting presentor stated something that I could not forget. The words fell from his in your face speaking style, ” Accelerate Business Performance While Cutting IT Cost.” My ears perked up. He begin to talk about what they do, and I began to realize what separates them from the rest and the most known.
I have spent the last few months looking at every option that would work for each individual organization that I work with. Cutting cost is at the top of the list, but performance ranks up there with keeping the business profitable. So this is a no brain-er or is it not? You decide.
