“Our comprehensive and uniquely differentiated approach to WAN optimization with security and control is clearly resonating with enterprises and large organizations,” said Bethany Mayer, senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing, Blue Coat Systems. “WAN optimization is no longer about simply accelerating files. Enterprises and organizations need to manage and distribute company video and accelerate business-critical applications, even those using SSL encryption, while stopping malware and mitigating the effects of non-business critical applications.”
