WAN Optimization - Expand Networks
Expand Networks is a technology company that helped pioneer the Wide Area Network (WAN) Optimization market. Founded in 1998, Expand Networks has grown to be the leading provider of "Virtual Proximity" solutions over the Wide Area Network. Expand Networks has more than 4,500 customers with over 50,000 units deployed and boasts the industries largest installation of over 3,000 devices.

Virtual Accelerator (VACC)
While delivering required optimization, appliance based solutions require additional hardware, management, and support. Expand's industry leading WAN Acceleration technology is now delivered on a fully virtualized offering enabling you to join in with Data Center and Branch Office virtual infrastructure plans.
Expand Networks WAN Acceleration technology, recognized as the industry's best at accelerating and ensuring wide-area network traffic performance, demonstrates a true understanding of the future IT environment by integrating their appliance software into the virtualized architectures of the future.
By leveraging the existing virtual IT infrastructure in the Data Center, WAN Optimization can be deployed as a 'virtual appliance'

Leverages existing deployed hardware & server platforms
Uses existing shared storage - SAN and/or NAS
Uses existing management & configuration tools
Easy to deploy using standard virtualization tools
Rapid ROI, lower TCO

Mobile Accelerator (MACC)
The new Mobile Accelerator Client (MACC) with unique HIVE technology transforms the economics of WAN Optimization for smaller branch offices and mobile workers within medium to large sized businesses.
Expand's MACC slashes overall TCO and removes the requirement for a whole class of conventional accelerator hardware for small branch offices while delivering appliance like performance. The MACC addresses today's conflicting challenges of increasing application demands and tighter budgets through a number of technology and economic firsts;

Up to 66% savings on multiple small office deployments
Sub $100 concurrent user licensing
Free WAN optimization for small branch offices with appliance like performance using unique HIVE Technology
No appliance required for small site, which eliminates additional power, space, maintenance costs and data Center hardware

ExpandView Management Platform
Expand's full-featured central management, reporting and alerting system, ExpandView, will deliver application fluent network statistics, optimization performance, bandwidth utilization data and configuration management to your fingertips.

Virtualize your WAN performance
Today's virtualized IT environments present the largest and most complex challenges to WAN optimization and application acceleration today. While delivering required optimization, appliance based solutions require additional hardware, management, and support.

Expand's industry leading WAN Acceleration technology is now delivered on a fully virtualized offering enabling you to join in with Datacenter and Branch Office virtual infrastructure plans.

Many WAN Optimization solutions are focused on a portion of TCP-based traffic. Expand's IP optimization engine not only optimizes non-TCP (UDP, etc.) traffic, but will also optimize the difficult interactive applications based on TCP such as Citrix, Terminal Services or RDP and Telnet.

All Expand solutions are designed with productivity, cost reduction and simplicity in mind. For end users, productivity increases as application performance reliably improves. By providing a simple and integrated solution, Expand enables IT to more efficiently manage the application infrastructure, reducing servers and other appliances while delivering a holistic network view.
