Ipanema's WAN Governance book

WAN Governance (TM) is the meeting of WAN optimization and application performance management with IT governance. The WAN is so critical to enterprise’s productivity that time has come to consider it from a business perspective, like other critical sectors of the organization. Throwing bandwidth and technology at the problem is no longer an appropriate attitude in today’s world of Business Governance. Looking at the global enterprise network from a business angle, rather than as a collection of technical objects, is one of the new challenges faced by every IT head. WAN Governance™, a service only available from Ipanema Technologies, enables enterprises to manage their WAN coherently and predictably, aligning the network to the needs of the business. Based on the definition of Global Application Performance Objectives, these feed a system which dynamically adapts application demand with the available network resources and, of course, a continuous service level management capability using KPIs.
