1. Improved employee morale - If your employees must wait a seemingly endless amount of time to log into their remote desktops or use a Web app, there's bound to be a lot of grumbling. By using an optimized this technology, you can improve application performance and employee morale at the same time.

2. Improved employee productivity - Employees need access to applications in order to perform their jobs. When access is slow, productivity is also slow. Take lag times out of the equation by using this technology. Your employees will be happier and more productive.

3. A better end-user experience - It's not just employees who benefit from faster applications. If you provide Web applications to end users, you want to create the best experience possible and this technology is one way that you can ensure performance, availability, and reliability.

4. An improved mobile experience - Users increasingly use smartphones and tablets to access Web applications. By using this technology, you can improve the mobile experience as well.

Application delivery networks bypass the public Internet, routing applications over their own optimized networks. Since these networks exist, and are designed, specifically for improving application delivery, you can avoid common problems associated with using the public Internet as a delivery medium such as network bottlenecks, latency, and congestion.
