As remote enterprise location and work-from-home use proliferate, the exploding demand for bandwidth is pushing networks to their limits, resulting in network congestion bottlenecks that are stressing the Internet edge, core and data centers.  GateSpeed provides a new answer to these problems.  As part of the agreement, GateSpeed will integrate VirtuLocity’s VLN software to accelerate all Internet WAN-bound traffic from CirrusWorks’ patented LAN traffic optimization engine to gain up to 8x packet throughput and improve Internet connections, even when users encounter network congestion, due to packet loss, excessive jitter, or latency.  “Combining the companies to form a single, all-in-one LAN/WAN optimization platform made sense for our customers and where the market is heading,” said David Giannini, GateSpeed’s new Executive Chairman and Managing Director, Spring Valley Capital.
