Expand Networks has announced a new pricing structure, establishing its entry level Branch Office Accelerators as the most scalable and competitively priced WAN optimization products on the market.

Scaling from 128k through to 6Mbps in one device, an Expand 4830 or 4930 branch office appliance is a single alternative to either 7 Riverbed, 2 Cisco or 3 Juniper WAN optimization devices, providing a long-term investment that can adapt according to changing business requirements.

Commenting on this update, Efi Gatmor, CTO of Expand Networks said "As enterprises become more dependent on the WAN, Optimisation has become a necessity rather than a nice to have. In today's economic conditions, as the company strived to make WAN Optimisation more affordable and will continue to take an aggressive approach to product development strategy”.


Expand Accelerators 4830 and 4930 provide its customers with the most future-proof investment for today's branch offices to ensure scaleable and reliable application performance across the WAN and Satellite links.

Commenting on this update, Gatmor said "Unlike other WAN Optimisation products on the market, Expand's branch office Accelerators only require a new license to scale from 128k up to 6Mbps rather than a physical forklift upgrade from other vendors.  An Accelerator is not a short term solution; communication is the lifeblood of any business, and their requirements are constantly changing”.
