One of the most critical issues in WAN optimization is visibility into an enterprise’s distributed networks and applications. All too often, IT departments lack usable, cost-effective tools needed to understand the traffic traversing the WAN. WXC CMS supplies detailed information on WAN and application performance, including fully customized reports and views that users can create based on their particular needs.
