The transition to virtualization, cloud, and Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) environments has made it difficult for organizations like Chime to meet application performance expectations. In addition, these new technologies amplify more traditional challenges like network congestion and latency. As application delivery becomes increasingly complex, poor performance is impacting business productivity.
