CFN Services provides application performance solutions for enterprises facing challenges from software-as-a-service (SaaS), mobility, and hybrid IT environments. Their Alpha Platform uses a global private network connected to major cloud providers and data centers to improve application performance and deliver consistent latency compared to public internet connections. The document discusses how traditional enterprise applications and infrastructure have moved to SaaS and the cloud, straining application performance over long-distance and unpredictable public internet routes. It presents CFN's Cloud-Ready WAN architecture as a solution, using software-defined WAN and interconnectivity to major data centers to distribute applications closer to branch locations and improve performance of cloud-based workloads. Benchmark tests show significant improvements in latency

4. The Story of “New IT” In the Beginning…
Heavyweight apps with Heavyweight middleware sat in one place…
…Within the Secure Dominion of the Enterprise Data Center

5. But Then the Apps Started Moving Out…
…And then Kingdom’s resources moved to less accessible uncontrolled territory

6. The Users became More Mobile…
…The Kingdom’s people spread out to new lands not within the Kingdom’s control

7. But Consumer Apps Clog the Internet
