Message pipelining
Scheduled preposition to pre-populate
Transparent integration
Dedicated CIFS cache (SMS distribution point, user home area)
CIFS Application OptimizerProblem CIFS is a "chatty" protocols and when used in an environment with high latency,
packet loss, and bandwidth constraints such as a WAN, file server access over the WAN is significantly diminished.

HTTP Application OptimizerProblem
Slow page load on Interactive Web applications Browsers serially open and close connections to fetch small objects (e.g graphics)Latency in a connection open/close could be higher than object transmit time.
SolutionFast Connection Reuse - Optimized connections on the WAN remain active for a short period of time to be re-used should additional data between the client-server pair need to be exchangedProxy Connect to SSL Servers – Each HTTP request is being inspected and forwarded to the HTTP or SSL AO or general optimization
BenefitsThis eliminates the latency caused by establishing multiple connections between clients and servers Tuned to offset connection “bursts”
Bounded session and idle timeoutsTransparency is maintained
Only same pair of client and server requests are reusedCompliments and preserves http application pipelining

MAPI Application OptimizerProblem
MAPI is using MS-RPC which is a chatty request-response protocol. MAPI exchanges many interactive control messages, perform meta-data operations and large object transfers. MAPI traffic is negotiated using MS Port Mapper (port 135) and is using dynamic ports Data encoding is negotiated by client/server Outlook 2000 obfuscates data ,Outlook 2003 and 2007 compress data (LZ) or obfuscate if uncompressible
Solution Full application support - Developed in conjunction with Microsoft Asynchronous Writes Read Ahead Messages Decompression-DRE hintsEndPoint Mapper - Listens to client communication with PortMapper server and creates dynamic ATP entry for negotiated port

WAN
BenefitsReduced send and receive time and improves response time of interactive control operations – very important for Outlook 2000 usersCleans up the outbox faster – important for cached
mode usersFaster downloads of OAB, while significantly reducing
BW consumption as this is a redundant transfer across user populationOptimizes native Outlook 2007 operations (Note: requires encryption to be disabled on server)Transparent, automatic optimization. Simple
enable/disable control, no requirement for modification of MAPI ports as Riverbed does. Integrated with EPM adapter for classificationNo reverse engineering (MSFT licensing) - Full protocol
compliance with the different protocol versions –No security hole of keeping sessions open even after users have logged out
