Doing nothing is still an option many folks choose, usually for reasons of budget
Although nearly three-quarters of organizations Nemertes benchmarks are using WAN optimization in some capacity, it is not the only choice for addressing performance problems on the WAN, such as might arise with use of UC on those links. Doing nothing is still an option many folks choose, usually for reasons of budget. Others, over one-quarter, try to re-engineer systems or processes to reduce demand. And of course, adding resources (bandwidth, or servers and load balancers in the data center) is still an option. However, use of optimizers is the norm now, for traffic compression and caching, acceleration, or traffic shaping, or all three.
