Latency and middle-mile Internet bottlenecks between the U.S. and India were causing large file transfers to be extremely slow – negatively impacting productivity and development timelines. With the use of Asankya's RAPID solution, Xactly is able to significantly increase the throughput of file transfers and thereby accelerate development cycles. Also critical is Asankya's ability to accelerate encrypted traffic, which allows Xactly to maintain their application security through an IPSec VPN.

"Being able to share information quickly and efficiently across our global operations is critical," explains Xactly's Director of IT, Curt Jernigan. "As we operate in an Agile development cycle, we are constantly enhancing our solutions and needed a connection that would move at the speed of our business.  Asankya has provided a cost-effective Internet connection solution and has allowed us to improve our throughput significantly - increasing our productivity at a fraction of private network costs."

"Even though Xactly is already a leader in SPM solutions, they continue to rapidly innovate and improve their offerings," states Scott Ryan, CEO of Asankya. "We are excited to help Xactly accelerate their development cycles while still keeping their costs low."

Asankya operates the RAPIDnet Application Delivery Network (ADN) service. RAPIDnet provides service globally to Asankya's commercial and U.S. Federal customers.
