Adopting collaboration… without sacrificing performance

CASE STUDY Performance gains from the SteelHead appliances were really impressive. Large files requested from our SharePoint intranet went from 10 minutes or more down to just a few seconds on a warm transfer.

“ ” – Greg Stimson, financial and program manager, Golder Associates

Although the primary benefit of Web Accelerator is performance improvement, another is that it has improved the adoption of the intranet in those areas where performance originally lagged.

“ ” – Greg Stimson, financial and program manager, Golder Associates

REDUCED… SharePoint load times in South Africa by 3X

INCREASED… adoption of company’s intranet in the field

AVOIDED… cost of content mirroring system

REMOVED… restraints to website development


Adopting cloud infrastructure… without sacrificing performance

CASE STUDY It’s very easy to introduce new services to our customers without needing programmers to develop and implement them. Mogul is all in on DevOps; and with the help of virtualization technologies, we are able to treat much of our infrastructure as code.

This gives us the benefit to deliver new services to our customers without the need for installing new hardware, developing custom software, or experiencing service interruption. SteelApp really helps us with this.

“

” – Johannes Blome, business director of Mogul Cloud Services

IMPROVED… customer experience

REDUCED… time to introduce new services

ACHIEVED… migration to new hosting platform

DECREASED… server hardware costs


Adopting cloud services… without sacrificing performance

CASE STUDY

Moving to the cloud gave our company more agility. Cloud SteelHead appliances enable us to save on costly Internet bandwidth when connecting to Amazon Cloud, and we have seen an 11x data reduction ratio for data transferred from our Amazon Virtual Private Cloud to our end-users.

“

” – Lionel Marie, Network Architect, Schneider Electric

ACHIEVED… Greater agility, changes in minutes vs months

ELIMINATED… End user performance issues from cloud

REDUCED… 11x the amount of data transferred to AWS

IMPLEMENTED… "Pay as you grow" cloud pricing
