Compass enables these strategic initiatives:

Fortunately, Maximo users in even the most remote locations can enjoy response times on par with users at headquarters when Expand’s Compass platform is on the job. The Compass platform integrates the needed Application Acceleration technologies into one appliance, providing proven solutions to combat WAN congestion and latency – the two biggest contributors of degraded response time performance for remote users.

To start, Compass can guarantee that bandwidth for Maximo is a priority on your network. Easy to configure Quality of Service (QoS) ensures that Maximo is as important to your network as it is to your business, giving it the bandwidth and priority it needs to perform well. Additionally, Compass’ pioneering compression techniques will ensure that Maximo and all other applications have bandwidth available far in excess of the network link speed. Combined, QoS and compression will help ensure that network congestion will not bog down your Maximo response time.

With congestion in check, Compass is able to turn its attention on latency and its performance robbing effects. Using a sophisticated TCP acceleration technology originally defined by NASA scientists, Compass can mitigate many of the effects of latency on WAN links, as well as make use of all available bandwidth. Coupled with an advanced error correction algorithm, this protocol acceleration makes your WAN transactions perform as if they were on the LAN. In combination with QoS and compression, remote user response time will be greatly improved and guaranteed to stay that way regardless of the traffic mix on the network. With excellent response time, all users can productively use Maximo.
