Expand Networks has landed $8.5 million more in venture funding from Intel Capital plus its previous investors. The WAN optimization company says it will use the money to support research and development in virtualization and to finance near-term technology buys.

The company already received $25 million in venture funding in 2000, $9 million in 2005 and $21 million in 2007.
