solutions for companies who require best-in-class support without
increasing internal IT resources. These mobility services
protect us from increased liability associated with downloading
inappropriate applications or content, and ensure our ability to
meet local compliance requirements around the world while offering
end users great experience and tools."
"Virtela is
truly an extension of my IT staff, providing advanced skills and
technologies to proactively manage our global multivendor IT
infrastructure. Virtela often fixes issues before our IT
staff or end users are even aware of them, giving them consistently
better performance and enabling us to shift our IT focus from
operational infrastructure reaction to proactive and advance
planning execution."
"Virtela's cloud-based
application acceleration service has improved our application
performance and file transfer times by 5-to-15x and is an order of
magnitude less costly and time intensive than the other vendors and
hardware-based approaches we evaluated. Looking ahead, we're
eager to achieve similar benefits from our public cloud-based
assets - even to support delivery of our own ERP application to
customers. Aside from their cloud service innovation,
Virtela's customer support and personal engagement are far superior
to anything we've experienced in the past."

everyday tasks like mapping drives and querying folders on remote

sales and operational data in the hands of the management team
twice daily, shaving the process by two hours a day. That's clearly
accelerating our ability to make key business decisions."

very high service levels."
