--WAN Performance is the Biggest Bottleneck for Networks in the Cloud Computing Era

--No comparable products are offered by CISCO in this special product category

--Business, School, Government, Web Content Provider, ISP, Hotel,  and MDU/MTU

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 Manager 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.

AscenLink(a.k.a. BroadLink) WAN Load Balancers--
