Content Aware Compression techniques provide enhanced benefits for Enterprise Web Applications

Improved processing latency by intelligent selection of compression techniquesUse CaseSolution

Benefits

• Web pages with significantly compressed content (e.g. jpeg, gzip file downloads etc)• WAAS determines content type using http headers and turns off LZ compression when needed to avoid processing latency• Faster download times for web pages with images, rich media or compressed files

Increased redundancy eliminationUse CaseSolution

Benefits

• Multiple users downloading same content with different cookie/header• WAAS parses http response to skip header bytes and accurately locate actual content• Accurate content location improves cache hit ratio and provides better redundancy elimination• Lesser data on WAN results in faster download times and faster browser page loads• Improved compression frees more WAN bandwidth for other applications

Better WAAS compression in lieu of sub-optimal server compressionUse CaseSolution

Benefits

• Web servers that compress data using sub-optimal techniques compared to WAAS• WAAS modifies HTTP header fields and requests web server to turn off its native compression• WAAS optimizes traffic using its optimization techniques.• Elimination of compression overhead on server and client improves response• Lesser data on WAN results in faster download times and faster browser page loads• Improved compression frees more WAN pipe for other users and applications

� Problem – Deployment Considerations� WebEx provider has multiple SaaS SSL servers & data center WAAS device needs to

know all the IP address/hostnames to supply appropriate certificate to client� Finding all DNS hostnames or IP addresses for WebEx servers is difficult� WebEx provider may add or remove hostnames or change IP addresses

� Solution� Provide single wildcard domain suffix for all WebEx SSL services i.e. “*.webex.com”

� WAAS uses reverse DNS to match traffic belonging to this domain� Configuration of multiple IP addresses is not needed

� Solution is applicable for other SaaS and enterprise SSL applications� Benefits� Transparent “one-click” solution that minimizes IT administrative tasks� Competitive Advantage� Leading WAN optimization vendor to offer enterprise class solution

Easy deployment for optimization of cloud based SaaS applications

� Solution� Provide DNS hostname to WAAS for SSL servers (e.g. “hr.cisco.com”)

� WAAS keeps track of IP address changes for the hostname� Solution is applicable for enterprise SSL as well as SaaS applications

� Benefits� Transparent easy to use solution minimizes IT administrative tasks & simplifies operations� Competitive Advantage� Only WAN optimization vendor to offer enterprise class solution

Dual WAN Links

� Solution� Up to two inline cards on data center platforms� Supports up to 4 inline groups� WAE-7371, WAE-7341, WAE-674

� Supports multiple WAN links in data center� E.g. 2 WAN routers mesh connected to two L3 switches

� Up to 2 WAEs in a serial cluster for HA� Second device is not recommended for scale

� High Availability � On WAE failure, inline card puts all traffic in bypass. Traffic is handled by second WAE.

� Asymmetric routing support� Supported if WAE is deployed across all asymmetric paths� If WAN routers in asymmetric path are geographically separated then WCCP can be used

� Problem:� For custom apps needing high network throughput, I/O performance needs to be optimized

� For apps like AD, Print, DNS, DHCP, Network I/O is not a significant factor in performance� VB services sees Virtual-NIC – an emulated Physical NIC in software.� Emulation of I/O devices without Para Virtualized (PV) driver can lead to lower app performance

� Solution:� Virtualization layer is PV-enabled� Custom Windows Application has Para-Virtualized (PV) drivers (OS specific) for improved network I/O� PV driver delivers efficient hardware access to Physical NIC, that improves performance for the

custom applications, which need high network throughput.
