“We can quickly deploy Windows Services to remote offices and -- more importantly -- better service our remote users."
— Dwight Wheeler, Monsanto
Network Integrated
with Security (Firewall), Voice, QoS, NetFlow
Preserves network services to ease operations
Only WANOp solution that interoperates fully with firewalls
Better with Voice
“Cisco WAAS accelerated the Microsoft Dynamics CRM better than our current solution, while offering better performance and interoperability with VoIP.”
— Dave Kizer, Nanometrics
Lowest TCO Reduce branch
footprint
DC server offload
Lower capex and opex with WAAS Module in Cisco ISRs
Minimize branch device footprint through WAAS Virtual Blades
Server offload reduces centralized file, video and software distribution servers by up to 10x
“The three-month return on investment for WAAS has been met with great approval by ADC. Likewise, our Juarez staff is elated with the 500 percent increase in application acceleration.”
— Dave Brady, ADC
