Operational teams often lack defined governance for WAN optimisation: responsibilities, policies and risk assessments are inconsistent or undocumented, making it difficult to measure optimisation results or show alignment with organisational requirements.
The solution defines governance structures, role definitions, documented controls, risk assessment practices and measurable performance metrics with reporting to provide accountability and traceable evidence; the scope is limited to WAN optimisation governance and explicitly excludes operational service delivery, procurement decisions, LAN or application engineering and responsibilities retained by other business units.
Increase application responsiveness and throughput across WAN links.
Understand the health and performance of infrastructure, networks, applications and cloud services in one view.
Identify performance degradation and failures before they affect users or customers.
Use performance and utilisation data to plan future capacity and infrastructure investments.
See how infrastructure and network performance affects applications and end-user experience.
Keep critical systems, applications and services available and performing reliably.
This solution can be delivered using a range of technologies, depending on the environment, requirements, and existing platforms in place. The following are commonly used where relevant.
