Best-In-Class Performance Outstanding Value 5000+ Enterprise Customers
 Key Drivers

• Datacenter consolidation and centralization

• Predictable application performance

• Contention of bandwidth/ congestion and poor wan quality

• Growing bandwidth demand and oversubscribed SWAN’s

 The Problem – Why wan optimization ?

• Applications are performing poorly over the WAN

• Multiple applications demand more and more bandwidth than is
available
• Server(s) and applications reside in branches but belongs at the
datacenter
• Replicating large amount of data between datacenters

 Application performance barriers

• Limited Bandwidth

• Application & TCP level chattiness

• High Latency

 Barrier to application performance
Bandwidth & latency

• Most obvious limiting factor for application delivery is reduced

bandwidth over wan link.

• Bandwidth - not only the reason for poor application performance, even
in some cases bandwidth has nothing to do with the performance

“Wan planning and design

efforts have traditionally
centered around bandwidth
utilization, however latency
plays bigger role in determining
application performance”

Mark Fabbi
Gartner

“In typical network running web base application *latency*, not bandwidth, can be
responsible for 50% to 90% of total application delay – source Gartner”

 Barrier to application performance
Bandwidth & latency

• Latency affect the application performance and throughput

• Throwing more bandwidth does not solve fundamental performance

issue - LATENCY
“Doubling the bandwidth is not effective as reducing RTT”

“Latency – the silent killer of application performance”

 Barrier to application performance
Chatty applications

• Most of the business applications

has been designed and devolved
with local area network in mind

• Applications are slow - even with

sizable bandwidth

• Protocols react poorly when

introduced to WAN conditions

• Common applications affected by

protocol design are Exchange e-
mails, file transfers (CIFS) , web
based applications, MAPI

 Solution – Array WanVelocity

WAN Optimization Controller (WOC)

• Is appliance based solution deployed at DC/DR and remote locations

• overcomes application performance issues by eliminating the application
chattiness
• Employs data reduction and byte level caching techniques to reduce amount of
data sent over WAN and nullifies the latency impact
• Application visibility and monitoring

 What Wanopt solution does ?

Key Benefits to business challenges are

• Accelerate application to branch offices and mobile workers

• Make applications on WAN feel like they are on LAN
• Reduce bandwidth on the pipe typically 60-90%
• Reduce the impact of latency on WAN networks
