Blue Coat Systems, Inc introduces newer solutions to tackle BYOD issues

Indian end-users of applications are feeling increasing pain: Slow application performance and availability, and a lousy user experience.

The major reasons could be:

- BYOD (bring your own device) is exploding, with consumers and employees expecting to use their own personal devices along with company ones

- creating a complex network to manage across

- Consumption and use of traditional in-house applications along with web-based applications is going thru the roof. Apps are now used across almost all facets of working and playing in India

- Bandwidth availability and management has been a long-standing issue and is only getting tougher...

Blue Coat Systems, Inc, a market leader in Web security and WAN optimization, has introduced new updates for Blue Coat®PacketShaper® appliances that enables Indian businesses to fully embrace web, cloud, and mixed-use recreational applications on the corporate network while providing a high quality user experience for maximum employee productivity.

Its managing director-India Sales, Ambarish Deshpande said the latest advances for PacketShaper appliances provide visibility into web applications and operations as well as the group and user-level policies.

 

This allows businesses to gain control over the shadow IT infrastructures that arise from the introduction of applications onto the corporate network without IT's knowledge.

He added that increasingly, Indian employees look to Web and cloud-based applications to increase their productivity, yet IT typically cannot see or control these applications. As a result, they can consume a disproportionate amount of corporate bandwidth and impact the performance of other mission-critical applications.

"Asia Pacific and India are our fastest growth markets for Packet Shaper. We have achieved tremendous success selling our Packet Shaper in Asia Pacific, and are looking forward to expanding our Indian business significantly with this new release," he stated in a press release.
