Compass enhances MIMIX with:

Fortunately, when combined with Expand’s Compass platform, the performance hindering WAN can be made to behave like the LAN. In fact, recognizing the challenges of the WAN and the complete solution offered by Compass, Lakeview sold their own Network1 WAN Optimization solution, an OEM of Compass technology, for several years. Using advanced predictive compression algorithms that are lossless, Compass is able to reduce MIMIX’s traffic footprint on the WAN – even when all of the traffic is from MIMIX’s bandwidth saving features. In fact, on average, Compass will accelerate traffic by more than 800% while fully utilizing the link.

Instant access to mission-critical data, from any location or during a disaster, means that data sharing must be in real-time. With Compass’ QoS, real-time data sharing can occur over WAN links shared by other applications without hindering their performance (or allowing their use of the network to impair MIMIX performance). Compass’ QoS makes sure that the network understands what is important to the business, ensuring the right traffic gets the right amount of bandwidth at the right time.

Some WANs are particularly malicious with their performance robbing latency. In fact, some of these links are even difficult to fully utilize. However, with Compass’ SCPS-based TCP acceleration, full utilization is possible and latency-caused slows downs become a thing of the past.

Combined with a MIMIX solution, Expand’s Compass platform ensures that high availability and data protection activity for remote offices can be both reliable and effective. Working together, non-stop business continuity is enabled with this robust information availability solution.
