With MACH5, enterprises can accelerate all key business applications – file, e-mail, web, video, secure web (HTTPS), while maintaining complete control over non-business applications (e.g., P2P, IM, Skype) and unwanted network traffic (Spyware, inappropriate Web content, malicious traffic).

Enable Server Consolidation
MACH5 acceleration technology helps centralized applications work, allowing organizations to consolidate applications to meet cost and compliance requirements, and still maintain application performance.

Accelerate Encrypted Applications
More and more applications are being “webified,” and many of those are hosted (or partially hosted) outside the enterprise. This often means that HTTPS/SSL is a greater portion of overall traffic. Blue Coat’s MACH5 technology can accelerate this encrypted traffic – even when the application is hosted/owned by a third party.

Accelerate Backup and Business Continuity
Data at rest has been growing faster than network throughput, making it hard to complete backups and meet continuity and recovery objectives. MACH5 overcomes the effects of latency, expands throughput and assigns resources to ensure backups get done on time – or that applications are usable in the event of an emergency.

Accelerate Video and other Rich Content
For cost and compliance reasons, more and more organizations are turning to multimedia training (streaming/live video, or video on demand), delivered over enterprise networks. Blue Coat’s MACH5 technology accelerates these applications, and minimizes network impact.

Accelerate To The Desktop
Users roam to networks outside of your control. The SG Client with MACH5 technology provides for a seamless, predictable user experience, even as the underlying network changes. SG Client provides MACH5 accelerated applications directly to the end user, wherever they may be.
