Bandwidth Utilization Improvements: Microsoft Dynamics® CRM 4.0
published by Microsoft Dynamics on Jul 03, 2008
Microsoft has made significant enhancements to the architecture of Microsoft Dynamics® CRM 4.0 to improve network performance. Test results demonstrate network bandwidth utilization improvements of up to 94%. Improvements were evaluated in the number of round trips, bytes sent, and bytes received. Because the bandwidth utilization associated with a page can change after the first time the page is loaded, both initial (cold) and subsequent (warm) page loads were tested.
ROI and Other Cost Benefits of Reputation-Based Services
published by Secure Computing on Feb 20, 2008
Reputation systems add a critical first line of advanced protection to help organizations accurately detect and block all types of threats to their messaging, web, and network environments. In simplest terms, deploying a reputation service at the network edge is analogous to having a peephole in the front door of your house. You let in people you know and trust, question the ones you don’t know and shun the ones who look suspicious. Just by taking these simple measures you reduce your risk.
GlobalSCAPE WAFS Passes the Test at PHR+A
published by GlobalSCAPE on Jan 08, 2008
Patton Harris and Rust and Associates has 13 branches. Management and IT needed a way to help these offices work on projects together to optimize company resources. Using GlobalSCAPE WAFS gave PHR+A fast file access across branches using minimal system resources. No management is required as it operates in the background and real time byte level differencing not only reduces bandwidth usage and spikes but also the changes are sent as they happen – not when they are needed.
Internet Failover with Bandwidth Aggregation for Disaster Recovery
published by Astrocom on Dec 13, 2007
Enterprises with mission critical applications are exploring the benefits of disaster recovery sites for their data centers to ensure business continuity. Special network technology is needed to ensure that site failover and failback occurs reliably and predictably. An ideal solution should provide reliable network connections, manage inbound and outbound traffic over multiple WAN links, failover to a secondary data center if all links at the primary data center are down, and eliminate deployment barriers and costs of multi-homing with BGP (Border Gateway Protocol).
Exploding the Myth that Unlicensed Spectrum Means Unreliable Service
published by Motorola Good Technology on Oct 30, 2007
For many wireless broadband network operators, the term "unlicensed reliability" is seen as an oxymoron. For many, the idea of building a high-speed network in the unlicensed band isn't a good one. A great deal has been said about crowded frequencies, self-interference and costly network rips. About how microwaving popcorn can cause interference. About disgruntled and perplexed customers. And ex-customers.
