Application Delivery

Organisations, of any size, rely on their applications to support key business operations. Companies sat within the mid-market, corporate enterprises and public sector can spend millions of pounds on developing and launching new products or services, backed up with proportionally expensive investment in software infrastructure and applications to help deliver them.

Providing secure and compliant access to these key applications, whilst improving their performance is the key to helping any organisation increase the return on their investment, and enabling them to deliver improved services and greater client satisfaction. So what part of application delivery do you need to address?

• Application Performance

  Eliminating performance issues is all about identifying and removing bottlenecks, whether they are physical constraints, or protocol and application limitations.

  Underperforming applications can create many issues throughout an organisation. From generating idle time while a user waits for files and electronic documents to traverse a network, or letting customers down when they are trying to fill their Internet shopping baskets.

  Eliminating performance issues is all about identifying and removing bottlenecks, whether they are physical constraints, or protocol and application limitations. These are generally found in two main areas of the network - the WAN and the Data Centre.

• Application Security

  The security landscape is changing with a growing number of threats aimed at the vulnerabilities in enterprises’ mission critical business applications.

  The security landscape is changing with a growing number of threats aimed at the vulnerabilities in enterprises’ mission critical business applications. The complexity and frequency of these attacks makes them increasingly difficult and costly to prevent, resulting in financial damage and lost productivity to companies.

  Traditional solutions such as firewalls were not designed to prevent the new generation of application layer attacks that leave enterprises exposed to issues such as identity theft and fraud, virus’s and worms. The need for application security solutions that not just detect but also prevent and protect critical business assets has never been so important. Are you interested in application or messaging security?

• Compliance

  Protect the applications and underlying IT infrastructure that houses, processes and stores critical information.

  In a world where businesses run on applications, compliance has become increasingly important to all enterprises and industries. Faced with a growing list of compliance initiatives such as Sarbanes-Oxley and Basel-II to protect customers, employees and investors from fraudulent acts, maintaining the integrity and security of critical financial and customer information is paramount across all private and public sectors.

  To ensure compliance with the regulations, companies must protect the applications and underlying IT infrastructure that houses, processes and stores this critical information. Costs and complexity can often be prohibitive, but solutions are available in the following areas:

  • Vulnerability Management
  • Data Encryption and Key Management
  • Data Leak Prevention
  • Security Event Management
