SYDNEY--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--Expand Networks www.expand.com, the leader in optimizing WANs
for branch office consolidation and virtualization, today announced that Baiada Poultry Pty Limited, a leading
Australian provider of poultry products, is using Expand Networks WAN optimization technology to effectively
prioritize traffic over the WAN, resulting in substantial improvements in company processes.
Baiada initially implemented Expand’s Accelerators to overcome network performance challenges created by
sending large numbers of invoices to remote printers each night. By prioritizing and accelerating traffic over the
WAN, Baiada has significantly reduced the time it takes to print several hundred invoices. With these invoices being
sent out with each delivery truck, efficiency in the printing process has greatly assisted Baiada in getting deliveries out
on time.
Since implementing Expand, Baiada has achieved 50% increase in network capacity, a 90% increase in speed and
performance of network operations and has also improved network response time by 75%. Furthermore, in support
of rapid company growth, Baiada has recently purchased additional Expand Accelerators, following the acquisition
of Bartter Steggles. With this increased number of Accelerators Baiada has also implemented ExpandView,
Expand’s full-featured central management, reporting and alerting system, to more efficiently manage its extended
wide area infrastructure.
Martin Williams, Infrastructure Services Coordinator at Baiada Poultry, comments; “Expand provides us with
visibility and control over our application traffic, allowing us to prioritize certain types of network traffic at certain
times, and enabling us to effectively manage web and email tr
