  • Before the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown struck, the predictions for software-defined wide area networks (SD-WANs) were glowingly positive. A Cato Networks IT survey forecasted strong growth for the technology, as buyers want to replace their multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) with a nimbler and more affordable alternative. However, the survey finds a need to consider the…

  • “As a company, we believe it can accelerate the critical path of discovery of a cure, and good outcomes for COVID-19 researchers and as a British Company, Bridgeworks already has a widely published track record with significant international reach.”

  • David Trossell, CEO of global data acceleration company Bridgeworks, says that ‘it doesn’t matter where in the world we work with customers; they all have the same problem: latency. In Africa, distances are vast between centres – places such as Johannesburg, Durban and Cape Town. They are no different to our customers in Los Angeles,…

  • "The UK’s Crown Commercial Services office has selected Bridgeworks to offer the NHS and qualifying medical research organisations data management services over the next 12 months, at no cost. Bridgeworks is making available its PORTrockIT IP network acceleration products free of charge for one year, to any Health Organisation or Medical Research Establishment engaged in…

  • WAN data acceleration, also known as WAN Acceleration, is the only way to mitigate the effects of latency and packet loss in any meaningful way. Traditionally, the answer has been to move data centres or disaster recovery sites closer to each other to reduce latency. However, if they are within the same circles of disruption…

  • David Trossell, CEO and CTO of Bridgeworks comments: “SD-WANs are the new kid on the block. They are a great tool, and in the right place they are a great asset, but they don’t x all the network issues when working with the cloud and data centres. SD-WAN has many advantages when, government and public…

  • The race is on to find a #vaccine to #Coronavirus COVID-19. Bridgeworks has joined the effort. Bridgeworks offers its PORTrockIT products to qualifying organisations over the next twelve months, at no cost.

  • David Trossell, CEO and CTO of Bridgeworks, argues hyperconverged systems have many benefits to the smaller healthcare providers. “By consolidating down multiple technologies from multiple providers for all the separate equipment that forms a modern data centre, along with all the differing support contracts and possible iteroparity issues that can occur, hyperconverged brings this all…

  • Unsure about what WAN Acceleration, also referred to as WAN Data Acceleration, is or does? Well, it's not WAN optimisation – nor is it an SD-WAN. However, this video explains that it goes a lot further than other available technologies to mitigate the effects of latency and packet loss. Find out how, watch this Bridgeworks…

  • …organisations may deploy SD-WANs for accelerating digital transformation, to manage the explosion of application traffic to the cloud – as well as the need for “homogeneous network performance at all sites”, but there is still the question about whether all of the claims stack up. Arguably, SD-WANs need a WAN Data Acceleration overlay for digital…
