The explosion of smartphone adoption is pressing data and application networks – stressing capacity, scaling unevenly across regions and delivering unsatisfactory user experiences. Some forecasts expect a third of mobile traffic to be video soon, and mobile backhauling is increasingly based on wireless technologies, even in the U.S. Many content, e-commerce and retail companies deploying mobile apps are taking on unnecessary costs by mis-understanding distributed application architectures and relying on existing vendor relationships. But well-architected solutions can improve performance while controlling costs and complexity.
