No-cost cloud accelerati​on from Dimension Data

Dimension Data announced it has introduced WAN optimization capabilities to its cloud globally.

According to Dimension Data, by deploying WAN optimization technology the Managed Cloud Platform (or MCP) cloud data centres, increases in application performance across the entire cloud are possible. Organizations can use this for database replication, file synchronization, and backup and disaster recovery between data centres.

An enhanced capability, WAN optimization is provided as part of the company’s standard public cloud Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) offering at no additional charge. Dimension Data has implemented WAN optimization controller (WOC) appliances in its MCPs in San Jose, Calif. and Ashburn, Va., U.S.; Amsterdam, The Netherlands; Sydney, Australia; and Johannesburg, South Africa. Traffic moving between these sites is encrypted over a VPN tunnel and optimized for delivery using de-duplication and application-specific protocol optimization.

Steve Nola, CEO of Dimension Data’s Cloud Solutions Business Unit, said the addition of WAN optimization capabilities is helping clients overcome the latency and bandwidth constraints often associated with public cloud services.

“No other cloud provider offers a core that is optimized for acceleration. By providing optimal network and cloud performance, in addition to flexibility and ease of use, we provide organizations the ability to speed the process of migrating their data and applications to the cloud,” said Nola.
