2014 Citrix. Confidential.11 CloudBridge Benefits Summary

Slide 12

Tools of network optimization

Slide 13

2014 Citrix. Confidential.13 CloudBridge Optimization Technologies TCP Flow Control Compression ProtocolAccelerators QoS WAN Optimization Engine Improve inefficient protocols Data compression / De-duplication Overcome loss/latency penalties Prioritize critical traffic Network Congestion, Latency and Packet Loss

Slide 14

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

Slide 15

2014 Citrix. Confidential.15 Compression and Deduplication Compression and Deduplication work by analyzing the data and searching for redundancies. Without Compression: AAAAAAAAAABCDAAAAA AAAAA (23 digits) With Compression: Ax10BCDAx10 (11 digits)

2014 Citrix. Confidential.16 Quality of Service Big File Transfer HDX Sessions VoIP calls HTTP MAPI CIFS Big Print Job Big File Transfer HDX Sessions VoIP calls HTTP MAPI CIFS Big Print Job No QoS: Interactive apps impacted With QoS: Interactive apps prioritized

Slide 17

2014 Citrix. Confidential.17 Protocol Acceleration Accelerates various protocols that WANs use to communicate. Thus minimizing the number of back-and-forth trips taken.

Slide 18

Application specific optimizations

Slide 19

2014 Citrix. Confidential.19 Protocol Acceleration First generation CIFS wouldnt 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

Slide 20

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
