The enterprise adoption of SaaS-based applications can result in lower overall costs and reduced implementation times; but with the delay and packet loss associated with both the Internet and with private WANs, SaaS-based applications tend to exhibit erratic performance that can become a barrier to furtherSaaS adoption. However, a new class of optimized hybrid WAN that combines the best practices for optimizing both the Internet and private WANs improves the end-to-end performance of the network, which in turn significantly improves the performance and consistency of SaaS-based applications and reduces these barriers to the ongoing adoption of SaaS.
