Do you know where your workforce is? It’s everywhere. Today your employees want instantaneous access to rich content, core corporate files, and applications on their mobile devices. And companies like yours are working hard to deliver.

But there are poorly-understood performance implications of going mobile. As enterprise networks grew, bandwidth was viewed as the primary determinant of performance, but increased bandwidth won't address the significant performance hits that can be caused by transport and application level latency. Today’s wireless LAN technologies introduce noticeable latency even in "pure LAN" settings where performance was never before an issue.

What are the tools at your disposal for mitigating these performance issues? How can they address laptop, smartphone and PDA? What should you be doing now to enable the performance your users are demanding?

Join us for the second in a two-part eSeminar sponsored by Riverbed Technology to hear the answers to these and other questions from our panel of experts including Joe Ghory, Riverbed’s Product Marketing Manager for Mobile, who will recap the issues brought up in the first part of our event and share with us how to avoid latency related performance issues while keeping users productive.

Attendees will learn:
- How bandwidth and latency relate to mobile performance
- Which applications cause the biggest problems - and how to fix them
- Best practices for "mobilizing" your network infrastructure
- What to do now - and what to avoid
As the number of mobile devices your support continues to grow you’ll want to ensure you’re enabling local-like performance. Register now to ensure you’ve got the tools you need to do so – and bring your questions for our panel to answer during the live Q&A following the presentation.
