Expand Networks Continues Virtualisation Drive With ExpandView Virtual

Expand Networks, a provider of WAN optimisation for branch office consolidation and virtualisation, has taken a new step in its virtualised product strategy with the launch of ExpandView Virtual. ExpandView is a fully-featured, centralised management system that overcomes the challenges associated with large scale deployment, configuration, proactive reporting and alerting across its range of physical and virtual Accelerator devices, and within physical or virtual environments. ExpandView delivers ‘application fluent network visibility’ to optimise application performance and bandwidth utilisation and provides ’trend analysis reporting’ to proactively warn of, and control, potential capacity challenges.

The launch of ExpandView Virtual is a key element of Expand’s continued focus of giving enterprise IT flexible deployment options available as they look to take full advantage of the cost and complexity savings that a virtualised infrastructure offers. With ExpandView Virtual, organisations are able to deploy their hardware infrastructure of choice resulting in flexibility, simplicity and scalability.

ExpandView Virtual is an ideal solution for enterprises with a centralised data centre environment running virtual servers. Its ability to be deployed as an image on a virtual machine overcomes the traditional challenges previously associated with installation, configuration and management presented by heterogeneous hardware environments and operating system configurations. Allowing for rapid provisioning, scalability and ease of management enabling organisations to more effectively and efficiently deploy, configure and manage Expand Accelerators, be they virtual or physical, ExpandView Virtual removes complexity, increases productivity and reduces TCO.

ExpandView Virtual is also well suited for telcos, managed service providers and cloud providers offering WAN optimisation-as-a-service; grid computing solutions and cloud-based services. With its Virtual Customer Partitioning (VCP) capability, ExpandView Virtual enables services to scale easily; organisations are able to support as many Accelerators as required by running multiple instances of ExpandView Virtual. Enabling a virtual instance of ExpandView per customer on a single hardware platform decreases the dedicated hardware footprint, reduces cost and simplifies management for service providers.
