Dimension Data has introduced WAN optimization capabilities to its Cloud globally.
By deploying WAN optimization technology in Dimension Data’s Managed Cloud Platform (MCP) Cloud data centers, Dimension Data clients are reporting a significant increase in application performance across the entire Cloud.
Dimension Data has implemented WAN optimization controller (WOC) appliances in its MCPs in San Jose, Calif. and Ashburn, Va., US; Amsterdam, The Netherlands; Sydney, Australia; and Johannesburg, South Africa. Traffic moving between these sites is encrypted over a VPN tunnel and optimized for delivery using deduplication and application-specific protocol optimization.
“With the addition of WAN optimization capabilities, we are helping our clients overcome the latency and bandwidth constraints often associated with public Cloud services,” said Steve Nola, CEO of Dimension Data’s Cloud Solutions Business Unit. “No other Cloud provider offers a core that is optimized for acceleration. By providing optimal network and Cloud performance, in addition to flexibility and ease of use, we provide organizations the ability to speed the process of migrating their data and applications to the Cloud.”
Dimension Data’s Cloud services are delivered on its MCP, a fully managed Cloud delivery platform. Hosted within a Dimension Data or client data center, the MCP is comprised of Cloud infrastructure (servers, storage, networking, virtualization and operating system software) and Dimension Data CloudControl, a Cloud management system that provides operational control and automation of Cloud resource provisioning, orchestration, administration and billing.
