Mission Control WAN Offloading How do I reduce the costs of my WAN connection while at the same time boosting its performance, security and availability? WAN offloading, or taking the strain off your WAN infrastructure through secure local access points to the internet, brings the following advantages: 1 Lower costs: Reduce the data traffic and thus the bandwidth needed on the cost-intensive WAN connection by up to 70 percent. 2 Boost performance: Increase the performance of your WAN for business-critical applications. 3 Satisfaction: Enhance user satisfaction by making surfing faster and safer. 4 Control: Secure local internet offloading at the touch of a button in line with your globally defined security policy. 5 Business continuity: Use local offloading at the various company locations as a backup infrastructure, thereby considerably increasing your flexibility in an emergency. The high volume of internet traffic places a huge strain on the WAN infrastructure: Internet traffic on company networks is steadily increasing. Rich media content, such as TV over the internet during the World Cup, video platforms like YouTube, or the use of social media applications in the workplace, have given extra momentum to this development. The high volume of internet traffic places a huge strain on the cost-intensive WAN. In fact the load is often so high, that business-critical applications on the WAN are starved for valuable bandwidth, resulting in sluggish access times or even interruptions in availability.
