Do these scenarios sound familiar?
- Is WAN speed affecting the productivity of your remote users?
- Are you interested in increasing application performance to your remote users?
- Would you like to enhance your network performance while decreasing IT infrastructure and management costs?
Companies are striving to manage network traffic to optimize the response times of critical applications and reduce
costs, given that bandwidth continues to represent a significant proportion of operating expenditure for wide-area
data networks. In addition, minimizing the effect of latency on application response times and matching the allocation
of WAN resources to business needs are also important. Web services and Brower-based applications are also putting
unexpected strain on networks.
Benefits of Application Acceleration
An application acceleration strategy addresses network, storage and application elements of performance including
bandwidth constraints, TCP and network latency issues. Cisco’s WAAS technology is a powerful application acceleration
solution for branch offices that optimizes performance of TCP-based applications.
To achieve the benefits of Application Acceleration, Cisco WAAS incorporates compression, redundancy elimination,
transport optimizations, caching, and content distribution technologies. Cisco’s WAAS helps overcome the bandwidth,
throughput, and latency limitations associated with TCP/IP and application protocols. Unlike other WAN optimization
solutions, WAAS integrates transparently with the network and Cisco IOS Software, preserving TCP information to
maintain functions such as security, QoS, visibility, and monitoring. Companies deploying this technology receive
immediate performance improvements, including:
- Improved response times to business-critical applications for fast file access and sharing up to 100 times
- Up to 99 percent elimination of redundant data
- More efficient WAN utilization
- Cost avoidance (no bandwidth increases or costly infrastructure build out).
Kovarus Builds Application Acceleration .Solutions With Cisco
As Cisco’s Advanced Technology Partner (ATP) for Network-Hosted Storage Applications, Kovarus has the experience
and expertise to assess, architect and implement Cisco WAAS solutions to increase usability, make collaboration
easier and ultimately achieve overall acceleration of application performance. The Cisco WAAS solution addresses
the enterprise branch office challenges of slow response times and bandwidth constraints. Because of the multiple
benefits resulting from Cisco WAAS, many of Kovarus’ customers have found the payback on their investment occurs
in less than six months.
