According to Blue Coat, its technology has solved significant performance and response issues with several important web and groupware applications, and enhanced the work environment between the exchange’s Busan, Korea headquarters and Seoul office.
Initial performance assessments show application response time to be about two times faster due to the use of SG appliances. At the same time, bandwidth consumption has been reduced by 400% to 500%.
Blue Coat SG appliances utilize the company’s MACH5 patent-pending framework of acceleration technologies to accelerate all key enterprise applications, including web and secure web applications (SSL), file services, email/Microsoft Exchange and live streaming or on-demand video.
Since the MACH5 technology is integrated with the Blue Coat platform, it enables organizations to manage all of their user/application interactions to stop undesirable applications, throttle less important applications and accelerate critical applications, even when encrypted within SSL.
Blue Coat SG appliances can accelerate all of our business-critical applications across the wide area network (WAN) while also dramatically reducing bandwidth consumption, said No Hwa-jin, the head of the market support system team of the IT strategy at the Korea Stock Exchange. This functionality is imperative to ensure that we can communicate, collaborate and share data and applications between locations in a way that is seamless and interactive.
