This mantra has been a holy grail for service and application delivery. With more WAN bandwidth, Web-based apps, and WAN optimization technologies, the delivery of applications and services to any user, any time, any place seems attainable. But savvy providers of network applications know progress is still needed in technologies and infrastructures to make this a reality.

This interactive panel session presents a slate of specific technical and network architecture shifts to close gaps on anyplace, anytime, any-application delivery, including the following:

• Datacenter-to-edge visibility tools to help managers with application/service priorities
• Adaptive control to set application policies and enforce business decisions
• Seamless technology to optimize and accelerate applications from the network core to users of mobile, wireless, and handheld devices

The panel will take questions and comments on managing these tools, controls, and delivery accelerators in the unbounded environment of apps, services, and users.
