"Citrix introduces WANScaler"
Accelerating Application Delivery to the Branch Office Citrix WANScaler solutions
provide high-performance application delivery to branch office users. WANScalers
accelerate application performance across wide area networks (WAN) by an average
of 5x to 30x, and up to 300x at peak compression efficiency. With WANScalers in
the network, End users in the branch office will experience LAN-line application
performance over the WAN, which means less time waiting for slow applications and
more time using the application.
Citrix WANScaler accelerates applications to branch offices of all sizes, datacenters,
and mobile workers. The AutoOptimizer Engine, which serves as the cornerstone of
the WANScaler architecture, offers flexible deployment options: the WANScaler Client
software accelerates remote users in home offices and on the road, while users in
larger branch offices are supported with WANScaler appliances.
Accelerate ALL applications over ANY WAN Citrix WANScaler offers a completely
transparent, end-to-end solution for all IP-based WANs (e.g. private leased lines,
public Internet VPNs, satellite, and wireless WANs). Transparency eliminates the
need for any changes to current network management tools, firewalls, network services,
or applications. The solution supports hundreds of branch offices and WAN throughput
up to 500 Mbps.
WANScaler solutions deliver increased WAN throughput and improved application response
times for all applications. The system is built upon the AutoOptimizer Engine, which
automatically and dynamically applies to each data flow the best combination of
performance boosting techniques depending on the application, the data, and the
network conditions. These techniques include Adaptive TCP Flow Control, Multi-Level
Compression, protocol acceleration (e.g. Common Internet File System or CIFS), and
layer 4 service class policies. The AutoOptimizer Engine is an industry first, introducing
a “no dials” paradigm to the WAN Optimization and Application Acceleration market.
A Simpler, Smarter, Approach to WAN Optimization Citrix offers a truly network-transparent
WAN Optimization solution that doesn’t rely on disruptive tunneling techniques.
This means that your network monitoring tools, firewalls and applications don't
need any reconfiguration or modification when the Citrix WANScaler solution is deployed.
It just works.
WANScaler appliances are auto-discovered, auto-configured, and auto-tuned - all
in a few minutes minutes and without disturbing your current infrastructure. The
AutoOptimizer Engine automatically applies the right mix of WAN acceleration techniques
based on network conditions, data flows, and application mix - and dynamically tunes
the system as these variables change, ensuring optimal network performance always.
