Ipanema Technologies has built new functionality into its popular AppsWork application performance guarantee service that enables the unserved SMB market to take full advantage of on-premise and cloud-based applications with excellent user experience.
The AppsWork service, which will continue to be sold through Ingram-Micro’s Cloud, now includes new WAN optimization features, enhancing Ipanema Technologies’ all-in-one service that provides real time application visibility and dynamic bandwidth control.
Through its alliance with Ingram Micro, AppsWork was launched in the US in the spring to Ingram Micro’s entire network of system integrators, cloud service providers, MSPs and technology resellers via its Ingram Micro Cloud Marketplace.
Since its launch in April, Ipanema Technologies and Ingram Micro have seen growing interest in the new service from users in a broad range of markets, including those in education, legal, architecture, financial services and healthcare organizations. AppsWork enables these and other users to guarantee application performance using the WAN and address concerns about the end-user experience, reliability and costs associated with on-premise and cloud-based business applications. For a few dollars per user per month, businesses are now able to take full advantage of any application.
Beginning this fall, Ipanema Technologies is also building on this initial interest in AppsWork by making it available to customers in the UK, through Ingram Micro EMEA.
The latest version of AppsWork will allow users to accelerate traffic over the WAN while still guaranteeing critical application performance – a feature that SMBs are likely to activate on certain sites where large files are exchanged using specific protocols.
The WAN optimization feature mitigates the impact of delay for “chatty” applications like Common Internet File System and Windows File Transfer. The main benefits are increased available bandwidth and reduced application transfer time, and as a result, a significantly enhanced user experience.
“The added WAN optimization functionality in Ipanema’s new AppsWork technology helps to address the network application performance priorities of SMBs across a broad range of markets in the U.S.,” said Renée Bergeron, VP, Managed Services and Cloud Computing, Ingram Micro North America.
AppsWork leverages a local appliance together with cloud-based services based on the industry leading cloud platform while scalable hosting is provided in compliancy with SAS 70.
