Integrated Traffic Management
Combines flexible deployment, professional services and leading-edge technology
Integrated Traffic Management improves application performance and management using WAN optimization technology.
Overview
The air transport industry (ATI) faces complex challenges linked to the expansion of services based on wide area networks (WANs).
Integrated Traffic Management (ITM) provides WAN optimization features that allow an organization to meet its telecommunication infrastructure objectives. The service aims to provide value-added traffic management, service performance improvement, and cost reductions.
Linking service enhancements with cost control is driven by:
- The transition from proprietary to open systems using internet protocol (IP) based applications and infrastructure
- The deployment of Voice over IP (VoIP) to reduce dependence on costly circuit-switched voice services and to optimize bandwidth usage on intranets
- Improvements to the quality of the passenger experience, from booking to check-in to in-flight services
- The reality of bandwidth constraints for airlines and airports faced with tight IT budgets and the challenge of operating in remote sites worldwide
- Data centre consolidation
