What is Cisco Wide Area Application Services® ?
|
 |
Cisco Wide Area Application Services (WAAS) is a powerful application acceleration and WAN Optimization solution that optimizes the performance of any TCP-based application operating over a Wide Area Network (WAN). This enables IT organizations to consolidate costly branch office servers and storage into centrally-managed data centers, as well as deploy new applications directly from a data center, while still offering LAN-like application performance for remote users. Cisco WAAS enables organizations to accomplish three primary IT objectives:
1. Deliver centralized applications with LAN-like speed to remote users, while preserving visibility and branch security
2. Consolidate costly branch office servers, storage and backup infrastructure into data centers, while optimizing WAN bandwidth usage
3. Maximize regulatory compliance and data protection through consolidation of branch storage, as well as accelerate branch backup applications

Application Acceleration Using Cisco WAAS |
When customers implement Cisco WAAS, they can immediately measure—by using NetQoS products— the impact on application response times, traffic flows, and WAN utilization, and hence can report accurate Cisco WAAS ROI benefits to business decision makers. These measurements are possible due to the integration of NetQoS products with Cisco WAAS, an industry first, and the result of joint collaboration between Cisco and NetQoS.
