Connect Acceleration

Supercharge applications and cut bandwidth costs

Our Connect Acceleration service will help you work faster and more efficiently, bringing your network up to full speed by removing unnecessary or repeated data.

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

Get better performance and cut bandwidth costs
We typically cut our customers’ bandwidth costs by 30–60 per cent, while their applications perform up to 200 times better. Most applications benefit significantly straight away. We cut typical back-up time for one investment bank from 20 hours to just three hours.

Boost productivity and improve customer experience
A faster, leaner, more effective network means your staff can do their jobs better and more efficiently. One global media company cut their customer transaction time by 20 seconds, saving £500,000 per year in contact centre agent costs and slashing bandwidth by 85 per cent.

Global consolidation made easier
Connect Acceleration can help you overcome problems with latency and capacity when you’re consolidating from remote sites to central data centres or virtual cloud storage. If you speed up your applications, you won’t need to add expensive bandwidth and your system users and customers will still get faster performance.
