WAN Optimization Solutions

Cisco WAAS

Our organization has a network design of hub and spoke. All of the spoke locations are connected via an MPLS link and have varying speed connections. To facilitate a seamless and robust WAN network we implemented WAAS as a bandwidth optimization tool. It enables us to provide a faster user experience without having to implement faster networks and pay more money monthly for the service.

We use WAAS for all of our MPLS WAN connected sites to connect back to our primary datacenter and application service site.

Network file and application optimization
VOIP telephony optimization
Citrix application optimization
Standardized user experience for networking usage

Administrator GUI user interface is archaic and very dated
Admin GUI lacks a bunch of feature support options you have to do via CLI
Some endpoint functionality needs to be done at each site instead of from the central admin tool. so redundant effort and can cause site config drift
Admin GUI lacks some monitoring and reporting options that would be helpful for support and trouble resolution

WAN optimization
application optimization
citrix optimization
vpn service optimization
voice optimization
database optimization
data replication optimization
DR scenario optimization

saves monthly internet service costs
seamless network experience for all users at all sites
ok troubleshooting admin portal so some IT skills are required to manage this
is costly to purchase
somewhat complex to set up but easy to administer once working
