Juniper Application Acceleration
Document Downloads:
The Juniper Networks WXC and WX application acceleration platforms provide distributed enterprises with a scalable approach to accelerating application delivery over the WAN. Based on the integrated WX Framework, which delivers all the elements needed to accelerate applications and optimize WAN performance, these platforms help businesses improve application response times, maximize WAN investments, and control and prioritize key applications.
WX Family Product Description
The WX product family includes five members: the WX 15, WX 20, WX 60, WX 100, and WX Stack.
The WX application acceleration platforms, members of a larger family of WAN optimization solutions from Juniper Networks, provide distributed enterprises with a cost-effective method for accelerating mission-critical business applications, as well as voice, video and terminal services, over wide-area networks, maximizing WAN investments and improving application response times for branch office users.
The WX platforms improve application performance over the WAN by eliminating redundant transmissions, accelerating TCP and application-specific protocols, prioritizing and allocating access to bandwidth, and ensuring high application availability at sites with multiple WAN links.
The WX products communicate constantly to provide distributed stateful intelligence about the entire network, exchanging vital information such as topology, reachability, and path-performance metrics. The WX devices also interoperate with their companion WAN optimization devices, the WXC™ application acceleration platforms, which include onboard hard drives to support the WX Framework’s Network Sequence Caching technology.
Through integrated WebView device management software, the WX platforms also provide unprecedented visibility into WAN performance. With the WebView software, managers can identify top talkers, monitor application throughput, performance and packet distribution across the WAN, review acceleration statistics, and create Executive Summary reports that provide a high-level overview of important performance characteristics.
WXC Familiy Product Description
The WXC product family consists of four members: the WXC 250,the WXC 500, the WXC 590 and the WXC Stack.
The WXC application acceleration platforms, members of a larger family of WAN optimization solutions from Juniper Networks, provide distributed enterprises with a cost-effective solution for accelerating mission-critical business applications, as well as voice, video and terminal services, over wide-area networks, maximizing WAN investments and improving application response times for branch office users.
The WXC platforms improve application performance over the WAN by recognizing and eliminating redundant transmissions, accelerating TCP and application-specific protocols, prioritizing and allocating access to bandwidth, and ensuring high application availability at sites with multiple WAN links. On-board hard drives that provide the foundation for the Network Sequence Caching feature enable the WXC devices to store particularly large data patterns over long periods of time, allowing the devices to identify and remove repetitive traffic separated by gigabytes of data or last seen days or even weeks earlier, producing up to a 100-fold increase in effective WAN capacity.
The TCP-, application- and protocol-specific acceleration features help overcome the impacts of latency, dramatically improving response times for remote and branch-office users accessing centralized applications over the WAN. Quality of Service (QoS) and bandwidth management tools allow IT to prioritize application traffic, ensuring missioncritical transactions always have sufficient bandwidth while preventing less important applications from consuming an inordinate amount of valuable WAN resources.
Integrated WebView device management software provides unprecedented visibility into WAN performance, enabling managers to identify top talkers, monitor application throughput, performance and packet distribution across the WAN, review acceleration statistics, and create Executive Summary reports that provide a high-level overview of important performance characteristics.
The WXC products communicate constantly to provide distributed stateful intelligence about the entire network, exchanging vital information such as topology, reachability, and path-performance metrics to ensure maximum efficiency. The WXC devices also interoperate with the Juniper Networks WX application acceleration platforms, contributing to a complete, integrated WAN optimization solution.
