The Application Performance Dilemma
Distribution ofServices
Data Center Consolidation
Distributed workforce requires distributed IT:
– Email, File, Print, etc.– Enterprise Apps (CRM, ERP, etc)– Enterprise Portal
Cost control mandates centralized IT:
– Virtualization, CapEx & OpEx– Service Agility– Power, Cooling, Facilities

The Challenge: WAN Limitations
Applications and video work well on LAN:– High bandwidth– Low latency– Reliability
But not on WAN: – Low bandwidth– Application
chattiness– High latency– Packet loss
Round Trip Time ~ 0mS

Video delivery optimization
Accelerates TCP performance over the WAN
Redundant data does not need to transit the WAN – reduces overall bandwidth usage
Optimizes application protocols, such as MAPI, CIFS, NFS, HTTP, Print – eliminates protocol inefficiencies
Streamlined video delivery ensures one copy of live streaming transits the WAN
