About Exinda

Another Satisfied Customer“We looked at several WAN optimization solutions and choose Exinda because of its superior visibility, control and optimization functionality, particularly with Active Directory integration

Other products that we considered would monitor usage and optimize applications by IP address.

We use DHCP, making IP-centric WAN optimization products valueless because our users and network devices are assigned IP addresses dynamically.

Exinda version 5.1 supports our environment and makes WAN optimization very straight-forward.”

-Jeff King, Systems Administrator, The Expo Group

Another Satisfied Customer“We were impressed with Exinda’s caching and MAPI acceleration capabilities, by removing redundant data from our network, Exinda’s advanced caching enabled us to achieve measurable improvements in application response times.

Moreover, Exinda’s integration with Microsoft Active Directory allows us to easily associate a username or user group to each and every data conversation on our network. With Exinda, we now have the ability to monitor and report on network usage at a granular user level.

This visibility empowers us to take appropriate actions to optimize our network, control peer-to-peer and recreational Internet traffic and ensure application performance.”

-Jonathan Aldred, Group IT Infrastructure Manager, R&R Ice Cream
