The speed of wide area networks (WANs) is more important than ever as businesses grow increasingly dependent on resource-hungry applications that are delivered long distance. Latency can be reduced and bandwidth availability improved via the use of WAN optimisation products, but they need to be appropriately configured and closely managed at all times.

Telstra's Managed WAN Optimisation service is available to organisations that already subscribe to our Managed IP VPN and will significantly enhance its value. By reducing redundant transmissions, accelerating protocols and optimising traffic flows, this solution gives users quicker response times – resulting in greater productivity.

Following a detailed review of your requirements and your WAN traffic, Telstra's specialist engineers will help you plan your existing IP VPN service to ensure that WAN Optimisation devices are installed at key network sites. The service is then fine-tuned to produce maximum performance with minimum business disruption.

The online service management portal allows you to monitor your WAN performance around the clock, view near-time data and generate various reports, whilst our 24/7 proactive remote network monitoring helps ensure that all devices are performing to their full potential. Any potential issues and opportunities are highlighted during quarterly reviews, enabling settings to be adjusted and bandwidth allocated according to your business priorities.

The combination of Telstra's experience and WAN Optimisation controller technology puts you in control of your WAN – boosting the performance of business-critical applications.
