Application Acceleration

At the end of the day, performance is everything. You want your network to be as fast and available as it possibly can be. HUGHES has the unique blend of technology, innovation and experience to ensure your applications perform at the very highest levels.

With enterprise networks in general shifting away from the client-server paradigm in favor of Web-based application delivery models, innovative solutions are required to deliver the “anytime, anywhere, always” functionality your users require via this latest architecture shift. It’s a challenging situation. Fortunately, it's one that Hughes can help you meet head on.

WAN optimization refers to a suite of capabilities that seeks to optimize network utilization and accelerate a broad range of applications accessed by distributed enterprises users via a variety of methods:

Traffic management methods that give priority to mission-critical applications during “rush hour” congestion

TCP and other protocol-specific acceleration algorithms to minimize the effects of network latency
File and object caching with “pre-fetch” mechanisms to speed up response times
Data reduction techniques, including compression and protocol redundancy removal
