WAN Acceleration

Companies with remote offices need their WAN links to transfer the data at near rated speeds. However, it is typical for these expensive links to be greatly underutilized. Configuring each server to work efficiently with the networking switches must take into account a wide variety of elements, including size of the link, transmit and receive buffers, type of traffic, protocols used, distance of users from source, etc.

One way to increase this throughput is to install a WAN acceleration device at either end of the link. This will improve the performance of certain types of traffic while bypass ignoring other types. However, they come with a high capital cost and require their own specialized management. As well, these devices terminate the TCP session at either end, creating a ‘black hole’ of information.

“iPTE improves WAN performance using existing servers and networks without terminating the TCP session or adding any hardware or software”

Veloxum’s iPTE has been shown to dramatically improve WAN throughput by using the existing servers and network. iPTE automatically evaluates all aspects of the WAN link, then tunes the servers at either end to maximize throughput. Improvements of 800% have been achieved.

“improvements of up to 800% in WAN throughput have been achieved”

All this is done with existing servers, networks and drivers. As well, your current management tools have full visibility into the network.

You may benefit from installing a WAN acceleration device, but before you make that purchase, tune your servers to see what your existing networks can deliver. You’ve made the investment already, now it’s time to get what you paid for.

If you have already purchased a WAN accelerator, you can still benefit from a properly tuned server.

Either way, let iPTE improve your WAN utilization by evaluating and tuning your servers.

Performance Improvements

Veloxum’s intelligent Performance Tuning Engine (iPTE) increases the density, load, and network throughput capacity of distributed applications. It does so by optimizing the manufacturer supplied server and client settings. These optimizations are done based on a variety of factors including the type of hosted application and location of users, and are always done within the vendor supported range configuration parameters.
