Controlling Chinese Peer-to-Peer Applications on Corporate Networks

Internet usage is on the rise in China according to a recent study from the Chinese Internet Network Information Center. The study also revealed that recreational Internet usage such as on-line music downloads, instant messaging and on-line gaming are gaining in popularity. This poses a new challenge for companies doing business in China as recreational applications can slow corporate applications and negatively impact employee productivity.

Exinda recently announced a new capability to help companies minimize the negative impact that Chinese peer-to-peer applications such as QQ, Thunder and Lava-Lava have on corporate applications.
