WAN Optimisation
WAN optimisation products accelerate a broad range of applications accessed
by distributed enterprise users by eliminating redundant transmissions, staging
data in local caches, compressing and prioritising data, and streamlining chatty
protocols (e.g., CIFS). WAN optimization also helps avoid packet delivery issues
common in shared WAN environments, like MPLS and Internet VPNs.
There are a number of solutions available for Optimising the WAN, generally
though you will have an appliance at each link, and all communication passes
through these appliances. Some vendors also have client software so that an
individual user can benefit from the solution.
The implemetation of WAN Optimisation really depends on your network and to
decide what is right for your environment takes careful planning, which we are
happy to help with. Please feel free to get in contact.
