Gartner has published their 2012
Magic Quadrant for WAN Optimization Controllers, authored by Joe
Skorupa and Severine Real. Ipanema Technologies has been positioned
as a "Visionary" in the 2012 Magic Quadrant report.
According to the report, "WAN optimization is about improving the
performance of business applications over WAN connections. This
means matching the allocation of WAN resources to business needs
and deploying the optimization techniques that deliver measurable
business benefits. The majority of WOCs are purchased by North
American companies (with Europe coming second) because these
companies have the greatest number of branch offices. These WOCs
are deployed to support an increasingly global WAN footprint.
Most networks carry a variety of traffic types of differing
characteristics and importance. Many organizations are striving to
manage this traffic to optimize the response times of critical
applications and reduce costs, given that bandwidth continues to
represent a significant proportion of operating expenditure for
wide-area data networks. But the cost of bandwidth isn't the only
consideration - as resources are increasingly centralized,
minimizing the effect of latency on application response times is
becoming a critical requirement. In addition, virtualization and
new application environments, such as cloud computing and Web
services, can put an unexpected strain on the network…"
Gartner analysts evaluate technology providers on completeness of
vision and ability to execute.

Britannic Technologies' Annual Convergence Summit took place at
Silverstone on November 17 2011. Now in its 8th year, this event

experts and business leaders from across the UK.
"Very informative and leading edge as always, just as we know
Britannic! Well done, looking forward to attending next year as
well!"

Full News Release
The summit reviewed today's rapidly evolving communications
marketplace focussing on cloud services, virtualisation,
centralisation and Next Generation Networks.
Delegates helped Britannic raise money for Dreams Come True, a
charity raising money to help terminally ill children and their
families - a very worthwhile cause.
This year attracted a record number of new prospects, a
world-leading line up of speakers from across the industry and
exceptional feedback from those who attended. Over 300 people
enjoyed the day, providing a unique networking opportunity with
peers and influencers within the industry.
Once again the event provided an insight into the developments
and innovations within the communications industry, complemented by
practical advice from experts and was on hosting and cloud
services.
The summit included a solutions exhibition show-casing 16 of
Britannic's key strategic partners, who are amongst the world's
leading cloud solutions suppliers. The exhibition gave delegates
the chance to try this technology first hand, speak face-to-face
with Britannic Technologies and their partners and see live
demonstrations of this technology.
Business leaders, Heads of ICT or Operations from across the UK
enjoyed networking and learning from world class experts about the
latest developments in hosted and cloud solutions, and were able to
experience the latest technology first hand in the exhibition
area.
The "behind the scenes" tour of Silverstone proved popular with
delegates who also participated in a silent auction, raffles,
competitions and many had their pictures taken for charity with an
F1 car. All proceeds from the day were donated to the children's
charity Dreams Come True. A ride in an F1 simulator, lunch and a
networking drinks reception topped off this enjoyable and
productive day.
