CloudBridge Benefits Summary
Tools of network optimization

CloudBridge Optimization Technologies
TCP Flow Control
Compression Protocol Accelerators QoS
WAN Optimization Engine
Improve inefficient protocols
Data compression / De-duplication
Overcome loss/latency
penalties
Prioritize critical traffic
Network Congestion, Latency and Packet Loss
© 2014 Citrix. Confidential.14
TCP Flow Control
TCP waits for a ACK after 64 Kbytes are sent on the wire
TCP does not like to compete for bandwidth
Multiple TCP sessions collide with each other causing back off and retransmit behavior
© 2014 Citrix. Confidential.15
Compression and Deduplication
Compression and Deduplication work by analyzing the data and searching for redundancies.• Without Compression:
AAAAAAAAAABCDAAAAAAAAAA (23 digits)
• With Compression: Ax10BCDAx10 (11 digits)

Protocol Acceleration
Accelerates various protocols that WANs use to communicate. Thus minimizing the number of back-and-forth trips taken.
Application specific optimizations
© 2014 Citrix. Confidential.19
Protocol Acceleration
First generation CIFS wouldn’t send the next packet until the preceding ACK was received – not true any longer
MAPI is still pretty chatty
HDX benefits from de-duplication and QoS
© 2014 Citrix. Confidential.20
XenDesktop
CloudBridge reduces WAN bandwidth requirements by almost 80%
Preconfigured QoS settings ensure correct prioritization
Supports both single-stream and multi-stream deployments
And optimizes other enterprise applications as well…

CloudBridge Benefits for NetApp Storage Replication
NetApp’s SnapMirror application includes compression functionality• Enabling compression affects file server performance
CloudBridge accelerates better:• Better TCP window size adjustment• Congestion measurement and control• De-duplicates across storage volumes
CloudBridge’s acceleration benefits are complimentary to NetApp’s

CloudBridge Connector
Feature to build a cloud-extended data center
Create bridges to connect one or more virtual private clouds (VPCs) to your network
No reconfiguration of your data center
Enables to create a seamless connectivity between:• Your existing data center and applications hosted in the VPC• Two Clouds• Data Center to Data Center
- AWS, Azure, SoftLayer, etc
