What Do We Do?
Expand Networks enables IT centralization while delivering superior application performance to distributed business environments.
How Do We Do It?
THE EXPAND COMPASS
An open and integrated standards-based platform that delivers a complete solution today, with the flexibility to adapt to the needs of tomorrow.
"These integrated solutions appeal to CIOs and IT/network architects because of their powerful functionality, and simplicity of implementation and ongoing management, while providing a framework that accommodates future challenges and growth.”
Implementing many of today's consolidation projects without regard to the added impact on remote users and the network is a prescription for failure.
Benefits
The result is improved remote user productivity and simplified, cost-effective IT

The mandate is changing from WAN management to high performance application delivery; a change brought about with the requirement to link business productivity to application performance.

In a unique way, ExpandView's simplicity helps to both drive the cost out of Expand solution ownership and increase productivity through workflow savings.

Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) networks allow service providers to offer differentiated services to their customers by sending business critical traffic over the guaranteed shortest distance and lowest latency path. Higher performance and guaranteed service for business critical applications mean improved productivity for the business. MPLS also gives the service providers unprecedented efficiency, lowering their costs, which in turn is passed on to their customers. The flexibility of service, potential for higher performance guaranteed, and the lowered costs all play to the mandates for business to do more with less.
