Virtual appliance - Relationship to WAN optimization
1 Software-based WAN optimization virtual appliances are an excellent
alternative to single-purpose hardware appliances, and enable high performance, agile and cost-
effective WANs which can act as solid foundations for those enterprises and
managed service providers considering virtualization and cloud
computing.https://store.theartofservice.com/the-wan-optimization-toolkit.html
Virtual appliance - Relationship to WAN optimization
1 Many WAN optimization virtual appliances (Certeon, Replify, Silver
Peak Systems etc.) have been certified by VMware.

Telecommunications in North America - Internet
1 Examples are to restrict Internet access by blocking the traffic
destined for a particular port or to affect the performance of certain
applications by assigning WAN optimization|priority.

Data deduplication - Benefits
1 * Network data deduplication is used to reduce the number of bytes that
must be transferred between endpoints, which can reduce the
amount of bandwidth required. See WAN optimization for more
information.

WAN optimization
1 'WAN optimization' is a collection of techniques for increasing data-
transfer efficiencies across wide-area networks. In 2008, the WAN
optimization market was estimated to be $1 billion, and it will grow to $4.4 billion by 2014 according to
Gartner, a technology research firm.
https://store.theartofservice.com/the-wan-optimization-toolkit.html
WAN optimization
1 WAN optimization has been the subject of extensive academic research almost since the
advent of the WAN. In the early 2000s, research in both the private and public sectors turned to improving the end-to-end throughput of TCP,
and the target of the first proprietary software|proprietary WAN optimization solutions was the Branch WAN. In recent years, however, the rapid
growth of digital data, and the concomitant needs to store and protect it, has presented a
need for DC2DC WAN optimization.
https://store.theartofservice.com/the-wan-optimization-toolkit.html
WAN optimization
1 Component techniques of Branch WAN Optimization include deduplication, Wide
area file services|WAFS, CIFS proxy, HTTPS Proxy, media multicasting, web caching, and bandwidth management.
Requirements for DC2DC WAN Optimization also center around
deduplication and TCP acceleration, however these must occur in the context
of multi-gigabit data transfer rates.

Middlebox - Types of middleboxes
1 * WAN optimization|WAN Optimizers improve bandwidth consumption and perceived latency between dedicated endpoints. Typically deployed in large
enterprises, WAN optimizers are deployed near both sending and
receiving endpoints of communication; the devices then coordinate to cache and compress traffic that traverses the Internet.
https://store.theartofservice.com/the-wan-optimization-toolkit.html
Application delivery network
1 In the branch office portion of an ADN is the WAN optimization
controller, which uses objectless caching techniques to reduce the number of bits that flow over the
network, and shapes TCP traffic using prioritization and other optimization
techniques
https://store.theartofservice.com/the-wan-optimization-toolkit.html
Application delivery network - Data compression and caching
1 A separate class of devices known as WAN Optimization Controllers (WOC)
provide this functionality, but the technology has been slowly added to the ADN portfolio over the past few
years as this class of device continues to become more
application aware, providing additional features for specific
applications such as CIFS|CIFS and SMB.

Network intelligence - Use in business
1 The network visibility afforded by NI can also be used to build enhancements and
next-generation solutions for Network performance management|Network
Performance Management, WAN optimization|WAN Optimization,
Customer experience management|Customer Experience Management,
Content filtering|Content Filtering, and internal billing of networked applications.

1 The widespread addition of WAN optimization devices is having an adverse effect on most network monitoring tools --
especially when it comes to measuring accurate end-to-end response time
because they limit round trip visibility.[http://www.networkperformancedaily.com/2007/07/whiteboard_series_the_impact_o_1.html The impact of WAN Optimization
