Blue Coat Systems, Inc, a publicly-held company based in California, will provide Blue Coat SG appliances to Ahmedabad-based SNL Financial for its branches. | |
| The company will provide the application to accelerate SNL Financial's full range of business applications in their branch offices in Ahmedabad as well as in Islamabad in Pakistan. |
| |
| SNL Financial is a premier provider of multi-sector-focussed news, data and analysis in the financial information marketplace. |
| |
| According to the company, it has acceleration technology which applies multiple techniques to reduce latency and bandwidth use for SNL Financial's distributed applications and file services. |
| |
| Blue Coat SG appliances speeds up SNL Financial's applications and data while allowing them to keep their existing Wide Area Network (WAN) at its current bandwidth capacity. |
| |
| As the WAN is based on an MPLS mesh network in a hub and spoke configuration, adding bandwidth capacity is an expensive proposition and would not address application latency issues due to the large distances between offices. |
| |
| "Our platform manages bandwidth, accelerates prioritised applications and content and protects against Internet threats," said S Swaminathan, director of Blue Coat System. |
