Importance
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
• All Applications – not just point mobile solutions
• Always Connected
• Critical to Overall Business Operations

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
