Businesses today are looking to optimize performance applications across the WAN. With Cisco’s WAAS you can deploy centralized applications, offer LAN like performance to remote users, and consolidate branch office servers & storage into data centers.

Employees within branch locations require access to critical applications, just as if they were sitting in the headquarter office. Because of this ever growing population, businesses are feeling the pressures of how to handle sluggish application response times, WAN bandwidth and latency limitations, and increases in WAN link costs.

To optimize application performance in the branch, Cisco® combines Wide-Area Application Services (WAAS) with Cisco IOS® Software capabilities and branch office routers. The term “WAAS” refers to a software image that provides a set of application acceleration and WAN optimization services to accelerate web, video, file, and other TCP-based applications. Cisco WAAS operates on the Cisco Wide-Area Application Engine (WAE) hardware platform-in an appliance or router module form factor.

WAAS is a powerful new application acceleration solution for the branch office that optimizes the performance of any TCP-based application operating in a Wide Area Network (WAN) environment. To accelerate application and file performance and to reduce WAN bandwidth usage, Cisco WAAS incorporates best of breed application acceleration and WAN optimization techniques, including compression, redundancy elimination, transport optimizations, caching, and content distribution. Each of these techniques is designed to overcome the bandwidth, throughput, and latency limitations associated with TCP/IP and application protocols.
