Take this quick quiz.
You are a WAN Optimization box hugger if you relate to any one of the following:
- Those Juniper WX boxes in the corner of your office are from 2003. Antique Roadshow entries filled out.
- Your Riverbed platinum partner just wrote you up up a 3 year maintenance contract on your 3 year old Steelheads. He thought he was being nice to you by giving you a small discount.
- The Cisco WAAS SKUs are starting to take shape in your head. You know which 31 to order for your 8 offices.
- Expand Networks was your hero. Now it looks like you’ll be exchanging your compression boxes – and right arm – for new Riverbed gear when your CapEx budget opens up.
- You keep thinking about your Packeteer or Blue Coat boxes. Wait – is that the same company? What does what again? The stock symbol is gone from the Finance page? And now you’re confused.
So, are you a WAN Optimization Box hugger?
