Connect Optimisation

Prioritise the applications that matter most

Our Connect Optimisation service will help you understand and prioritise your most important applications so you can manage less important traffic over the internet, reducing costs and downtime.

Connect Optimisation is part of our portfolio of application performance management services.

Protect the applications that matter most, no matter what
Connect Optimisation protects your applications even during data ‘rush hour’ times of the day or month. It will also protect essential applications if your users create a lot of non-essential traffic on your network.

Improve application response and slash bandwidth costs
Connect Optimisation can make best use of your network bandwidth and throttle back on non-business critical applications to stop congestion. By allocating the right bandwidth to important applications Connect Optimisation has speeded up response times for customers by 33 per cent. And compression techniques can also cut bandwidth by over 40 per cent.

Run your network the way you want
Connect Optimisation is the next generation of network management. It lets you change application policies fast. It’s improved the speed of a network policy change for one customer by 32 hours.

Choosing the right network path
Connect Optimisation directs WAN traffic across multiple networks to make sure your applications perform at their best, any time.

The service enables us to analyse and manage bandwidth demand per application and location. This new service was a perfect fit for us. With application visibility and control our applications and our underlying IP network are being optimised to best support our critical business processes.”

Before Connect Optimisation we had escalating bandwidth spend with constant upgrades with no clear understanding of why. Connect Optimisation has helped us bring our network and applications under control. BT also found 40 per cent of the traffic going over the IPVPN was internet traffic. We are using the new SmartPath feature to direct this over the internet.”
