WAN Optimization Services: High-impact Technology - What You Need to Know: Definitions, Adoptions, Impact, Benefits, Maturity, Vendors

WAN optimization products seek to accelerate a broad range of applications accessed by distributed enterprise users via eliminating redundant transmissions, staging data in local caches, compressing and prioritizing data, and streamlining chatty protocols (e.g., CIFS). WAN optimization also helps avoid packet delivery issues common in shared WAN environments, like MPLS and Internet VPNs.

Component techniques of WAN Optimization include deduplication, WAFS, CIFS proxy, HTTPS Proxy, media multicasting, Web caching, Forward Error Correction (FEC), and bandwidth management.
