Enterprises face numerous challenges in the delivery of applications and critical business data to the enterprise edge. As the global workforce continues to become more distributed, providing adequate service levels throughout the organization becomes increasingly difficult, causing IT departments to deploy costly and difficult-to-manage infrastructure at each location, including file services, email, video, software distribution, and print services. With continuous pressure from industry and federal regulation, IT departments now face the significant challenge of consolidating this costly infrastructure into the data center or onto scalable, virtualized branch-office application-delivery platforms to improve data protection, security, and availability, while maintaining the service level that the distributed workforce has come to expect.
Furthermore, as applications continue to become more complex and robust, delivering applications and application information to the enterprise edge becomes increasingly challenging and expensive. In today's environment, IT managers face increasing pressure to reduce application-delivery costs over the WAN while helping ensure application availability and agility with the adoption of virtualization and cloud computing. However, poor application response time experienced by users in remote sites is often cited as one of the main inhibitors of cloud adoption. The latency of the WAN or Internet link between the data center and cloud location and the user at the remote site adversely affects the performance of business applications. A solution to the application performance challenge is to make WAN optimization a part of the cloud infrastructure.
As discussed in this document, Cisco Wide Area Application Services (WAAS) accelerates applications and data over the WAN, optimizes bandwidth, empowers cloud services, and provides local hosting of branch-office IT services - all with industry-leading network integration. Cisco WAAS allows IT departments to centralize applications and storage while maintaining productivity for branch-office and mobile users.
