Korea Line Corporation Hires Blue Coat for WAN Optimization
 TMCnet Contributing Editor
Korea Line Corporation (KLC) has selected Blue Coat ProxySG appliances to speed up the delivery of applications and content across its Wide Area Network (WAN  ) between the company’s Seoul headquarters and its overseas offices in Shanghai and Singapore. Blue Coat Systems, Inc., delivers WAN Application Delivery and Secure Web Gateway ( News - Alert) solutions.
With Blue Coat ProxySG appliances, KLC has decreased file download time from over 10 minutes to approximately 6 to 7 seconds. Using the ProxySG appliance, the Shanghai office has been able to access headquarters’ ERP system quite easily.
“KLC has to transfer a large volume of data across a long distance, and as KLC’s business expands overseas, we needed a solution that provides the same application access environment with headquarters for our remote employees,” said Yu Jae-gil, information system team manager for KLC. “Blue Coat ProxySG appliances enable us to provide optimized application performance for our employees located around the world, enhancing their work environment.”
Blue Coat ProxySG appliances make use of the company’s MACH5 patent-pending framework of acceleration technologies designed to speed up all key enterprise applications such as Web and secure Web applications (SSL), file services, email/Microsoft ( News - Alert) Exchange and live streaming and on-demand video.
Thanks to the addition of MACH5 acceleration technologies, Blue Coat ProxySG appliances help organizations handle user/application interactions to stop unwanted applications, control less important applications and quicken critical applications.
“We are pleased to provide a solution to KLC that dramatically optimizes their WAN for accelerating business-critical applications and reducing bandwidth consumption,” said Kim Jong-duck, country manager, Blue Coat Korea. “Blue Coat ProxySG appliances accelerate the full range of business-critical applications, bringing operational savings and strategic business process advantages to customers.”
