Stage I

• Spotty Coverage & Slow

• CDPD/RAM Mobile Data/Proprietary LAN Networks

• Single Network

• Specialized Applications

• Synchronization

• Critically Important to specific groups

Stage II

• GPRS/2.5 and 3G; 802.11a, b and g

• Coverage & speeds increase

• Specialized Applications

• Email and Web

• Synchronize / Occasionally Connected

• Critically Important to specific groups

• Moderately important to others (Web & Email)

Stage III

• 4G; 802.11n

• Coverage and speeds continue to increase

• Use of Multiple Networks

Visibility and Control

It’s Secure, But…..

How do I keep secure, but also…..• Combine multiple networks

• Use available bandwidth intelligently

• Minimize disruptions due to connectivity challenges

• Easy to use

VPN Technology

SSL VPNs – Application Layer VPNs• High in the stack

• No visibility into the network

• Poor performance over slower connections

IPSec VPNs – Network Layer VPNs• Low in the stack

• No visibility into applications

Mobile VPNs – Transport Layer VPNs• Transport Layer Application Level

Proxy

• UDP vs. TCP

What’s Driving Traffic – Impacting Performance?

18

Control

Ability to Take Action – Centrally• Create application/process level policies on the fly

▪ Not just by port

• Set by network being used AND time of day▪ Cellular Business Hours

▪ Wi-Fi Non-Business Hours

▪ Home

• Set by device AND by user

• Block, Allow and Prioritize Traffic▪ Not just allow or disallow on the device

▪ Ability to shape and manage traffic

Summary

Maximize Odds of a High Performing Connection• Remove the Blind Spots

• See. Make smart decisions. Fix.▪ Carriers

▪ Adapters

▪ Applications and Usage

• Take advantage of multiple networks

20

Minimize Disruptions When Don’t• Shield mobile workers from the networking stuff….

▪ Re-authentication and application drops

▪ Selecting what and where to connect

▪ Differing user experiences when in and out of office
