Korea Line Corporation (KLC) has selected Blue Coat ProxySG appliances to accelerate 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.

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.

Before installing a ProxySG appliance, it was very difficult for the Shanghai office to access headquarters' ERP system. Now they have the same application access environment with the headquarters in Seoul, resulting in increased work productivity.

With Blue Coat ProxySG appliances, KLC has reduced file download time from over 10 minutes to approximately 6 to 7 seconds.

"Blue Coat ProxySG appliances enable us to provide optimised application performance for our employees located around the world, enhancing their work environment," Yu said.

Blue Coat ProxySG appliances utilise the company's MACH5 framework of acceleration technologies designed to accelerate all key enterprise applications, including: Web and secure Web applications (SSL), file services, email/Microsoft Exchange and live streaming and on-demand video.

With the addition of MACH5 acceleration technologies, Blue Coat ProxySG appliances enable organisations to manage user/application interactions-to stop undesirable applications, regulate less important applications and accelerate critical applications, even when application traffic is encrypted using SSL.
