Bandwidth categorization, analysis and optimization in WAN links
One of the ways to optimize WAN traffic from the branches to a consolidated data centre is to manage and optimize the bandwidth according to the needs and observed parameters of a specific network. We will look at how the incoming and outgoing data packets from a WAN network are categorized, analysed and optimized... »
What is a Link Load Balancer in Wide Area Networking?
This article explains what a link load balancer is, in the context of wide area networking and how it gives a central management interface to all the links coming in to an organization and utilize them optimally even in the case of a failure in one of the links. We also look at the... »
Caching, Types of Caching, Challenges faced by Caching solutions in WAN Optimization
Caching is a process of storing important and frequently accessed data locally in a easily accessible location, so that they need not be retrieved from the original source every time. This saves time and resources like bandwidth, processing power etc. Let us look at the types of caching in this article. »
Introduction to WAN Optimization Techniques
Ever wondered why WAN optimization is required in consolidated data centre scenarios? Or how much difference WAN optimization makes in such situations? This article gives an overview of the techniques that are applied to optimize the data that is sent across the WAN network in order to reduce the bandwidth consumed by them and... »
