WAN Optimization

WAN Optimization


Accelerate and Optimise your Networks, Applications and Data Backup & Recovery
 

Overcome Network Performance Challenges

...without complex routing techniques


Whether you have one or more cloud or office locations - Adopting WAN optimization can benefit your business and network performance.


Addressing Globalisation and Mobility

More business than ever is done in branch offices, remote sites, and by remote and mobile users, which all need access to business applications hosted in one or more datacentres.


Application Service Level Assurance 

 WAN optimization - how it works - architecture diagram

A simple solution whereby or more WAN optimization appliances are implemented at each of your critical application / data delivery sites (between your head office, branch offices, adhoc office site, cloud based data centre, hosted application provider, replicated DR site...)

The WAN Optimization appliances bond / aggregate multiple data connection lines (your core carrier, ISP, MPLS) into one manageable, high availability and QoS assured connection. These bonded lines together not only provide you quality of service for business critical applications / data but increase performance from what you might have experienced to data or help to remove latency on low bandwidth or long distance sites.

Cost savings can be achieved by allowing you to source multiple cheaper internet / network link services, compared to one or two big more expensive services. Utilising cheaper multiple providers removes single point of failure on your network, giving you more freedom and reliability than what a single provider can offer.

Security is built into the WAN optimization appliance, meaning that data transmitted between appliances happens over a secure VPN - ideal if your data is traveling over a public or internet line.

So in summary, if you want to solve application latency, deliver improved application performance to remote sites in a secure way that ticks boxes for your disaster recovery and business continuity policy, then WAN optimization is for you.




Key Solution Features & Benefits
 
> Application acceleration
Always deliver a great user experience.

Make sure your critical business apps are always performing – on-premise, cloud and mobile applications.




> Accelerates Microsoft applications
File sharing, Exchange, SharePoint, Dynamics and Skype for Business as well as any TCP-based application, including file transfers, email, SSL, ERP, CRM, Salesforce.com, CAD, Data Backup and Storage Replication.


> Optimise VDI and virtual applications performance
Increase user acceptance and accelerate latency-sensitive traffic.



> Accelerate the delivery of Oracle applications over the WAN
Reducing the effects of latency and problems.



> Policy-based shaping
Lets you prioritise how and when users, applications and web sites consume bandwidth on your network. Integration with Microsoft Active Directory means you can control bandwidth by user, group, time and location.

> Site load-balancing
Provide resiliency and continuity for cloud computing across multiple sites. 



> Enable VMware VDI / virtual desktop deployment

> Ensure Oracle application traffic does not compete for WAN bandwidth with non-business critical usage

> Accelerating the delivery of Microsoft Office 365 to users

> Provide redundancy and high availability (for your Internet, Cloud, network lines)

> QoS (Quality of Service) for your data lines and applications


> Accelerate applications over limited bandwidth

> Optimise collaboration projects and productivity

> Reduce recreational traffic control & accelerate business SaaS / cloud services

> Protect latency-sensitive traffic to ensure real-time applications such as voice and video-conferencing have the right amount of bandwidth they need to ensure high-quality performance

> TCP, CIFS, HTTP, HTTPS, MAPI and streaming video and IM protocols

> Direct traffic over optimal WAN links and ISPs for the highest quality user experience


> Optimise access and user experience of connectivity to cloud-based applications



> Optimise and ensure high data rates for your applications over your WAN (public or private network)

> Data Caching delivers content to users quicker

> Reduce bandwidth from large, repetitive data transmission

> Inline compression

> De-duplication (for example 400 mbps of LAN traffic becomes 4 mbps on the WAN)

> Ensure the secure and fast delivery of replication data between data centres (for DR)

> Increase geographic distances between data centres

> Meet Recovery Point Objectives (RPO) for data backup and recovery

> Improve virtual desktop experience for users in Branch offices on your WAN

> Video, Voice (VoIP) content optimization - caching
