Enterprises in the most bandwidth-hungry industries in the digital world — media, finance, and cloud, for example — require high-performing network services to ensure their customers receive optimal quality-of-service (QoS).
Consider online content videos. According to comScore, more than 188 million Americans watched over 52 billion online content videos in December 2013, and eight in 10 European internet users (338 million people) accessed an online news site in September 2013. The highly competitive media landscape means sites cannot compromise on performance. If there’s excessive latency, users will simply turn to another media outlet for their online entertainment, news, and video-on-demand.
