Empower Users through Superior Web Performance
Fortune 2000 companies – particularly manufacturers, software-as-a-service providers, and retailers – can't afford to ignore the opportunities for revenue generation and process efficiency presented by today's global Internet economy. As a result, many have established an extended enterprise to streamline collaboration with customers, employees, and partners dispersed around the world.The key to extracting maximum value from an extended enterprise is to empower global users with access to the applications and data needed to run a business. The challenge organizations face is to cost-effectively deliver website content and applications that perform well for a globally dispersed audience.

- This research focuses on the following issues:
- Accelerating applications on multinational corporations' (MNCs) WAN, hosted outside of China and accessed by users in China.
- Accelerating Internet applications on the Internet, hosted outside of China, accessed by users in China.
- Accelerating applications on the Internet, hosted inside China, accessed by users in China.
- China has improved Internet performance significantly, but some challenges still remain, such as high bandwidth consumption by a large and growing Internet population.
- A significant percentage of the performance issues are driven by sheer latency, due to long geographic distances between China and the U.S. and Western Europe.
- Leading global content delivery network (CDN) providers have made significant progress in China with the expansion of their global acceleration services. Local CDN providers posed challenges in offering acceleration services within China.
