ROSELAND, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Expand Networks www.expand.com, the leader in optimizing WANs for branch office consolidation and virtualization, today announced two additions to its Accelerator product family - the 3830 and 3930. Delivering advanced WAN Optimization in the industry’s most compact form factor, the Accelerators outscale competitive offerings to set new standards for price/performance at the branch office.

Ideal for small offices, retail branches, VDI environments and harsh, “on the move” locations such as ships & oil rigs, the 3X30 series enables customers without rack space to realize the benefits of WAN optimization with the smallest footprint possible. The 3X30 series also assures investment security with a pay-as-you-grow licensing model scaling as the branch office or mobile environment grows.

Adam Davison, Corporate VP of Sales and Marketing at Expand Networks explains, “Whilst other WAN Optimization vendors reduce entry level ranges, we’re responding directly to growing customer demand for extending global network deployments into smaller or harsh locations, but doing so cost-effectively and with the opportunity to scale. This is equally critical whether in a small retail branch or a harsh satellite environment. These Accelerators provide affordable pricing without performance degradation; ensuring customers’ investments are fully future-proofed.”

Delivering the full capabilities of Expand’s AoS, the new Accelerators provide standards-based TCP Acceleration (SCPS), Compression, IPSec VPN and QoS performance enhancements that optimize and condition WANs in the most cost-effective deployment. The 3830 Accelerator includes optional 4GB flash for caching, while the 3930 offering is equipped with a hard drive, enabling maximum optimization across all Expand platforms.

• Price/Performance: The most competitively priced solutions for these environments, on average costing 30% less than competitive offerings.
• Scalability: Starting at 64KBs, through to 2MB, the Accelerators outscale all competition; supporting 64,000 TCP connections compared to only 200 from the nearest competition.
