NetEqualizer Cash for Conversion Program Announced
After witnessing the overwhelming popularity of the government's Cash for Clunkers new car program, we've decided to offer a similar deal to potential NetEqualizer customers. Therefore, this week, we're announcing the launch of our Cash for Conversion program.
The program offers owners of select brands (see below) of network optimization technology a $1000 credit toward the list-price purchase of NetEqualizer NE2000-10 or higher models (click here for a full price list). All owners have to do is send us your old (working or not) or out of license bandwidth control technology. Products from the following manufacturers will be accepted:
Exinda
Packeteer/Blue Coat
Allot
Cymphonics
Procera
In addition to receiving the $1000 credit toward a NetEqualizer, program participants will also have the peace of mind of knowing that their old technology will be handled responsibly through refurbishment or electronics recycling programs.
Only the listed manufacturers' products will qualify. Offer good through the Labor Day weekend (September 7, 2009). For more information, contact us at 303-997-1300 or admin@apconnections.net.
And The Frontier Flyaway Contest Winner Is...
Every few months, we have a drawing to give away two roundtrip domestic airline tickets from Frontier Airlines to one lucky person who's recently tried out our online NetEqualizer demo.
The time has come to announce this round's winner.
Congratulations, Mark! Please contact us within 30 days at admin@apconnections.net or 303-997-1300 to claim your prize.

Top Tips To Quantify The Cost Of WAN Optimization
When presenting a WAN optimization ROI argument, your vendor rep will clearly make a compelling case for savings. The ROI case will be made by amortizing the cost of equipment against your contracted rate from your provider. You can and should trust these basic raw numbers. However, there is more to evaluating a WAN optimization (packet shaping) appliance than comparing equipment cost against bandwidth savings. Here are a few things to keep in mind:
The amortization schedule should also make reasonable assumptions about future costs for T1, DS3, and OC3 links. Most contracted rates have been dropping in many metro areas and it is reasonable to assume that bandwidth costs will perhaps be 50-percent less two to three years out.
If you do increase bandwidth, the licensing costs for the traffic shaping equipment can increase substantially. You may also find yourself in a situation where you need to do a forklift upgrade as you outrun your current hardware.
