Top Five Tips for Deploying WAN
Performance Appliances-
- For any End-to-End Networks, WAN is always the
performance bottleneck due to its comparatively lower
bandwidth and reliability vs. LAN.
- WAN Load Balancers perform the WAN bandwidth
aggregation and fail-over protection.
- WAN Traffic Management Appliances perform
Application-layer Traffic Analysis/Traffic Shaping to
achieve Application-specific (VoIP, Video, ERP, Web,
etc.) QoS Optimization.
- WAN Performance Appliance is
"Mission-Critical" in nature due to its pivotal role in
any End-to-End Network's system performance and
reliability.
- Consider only vendors with a minimum of 5 years of
successful broad deployment track record.
