Citrix WANScaler

Citrix WANScaler solutions provide high-performance application delivery to branch office users. WANScalers accelerate application performance across wide area networks (WAN) by an average of 5x to 30x, and up to 300x at peak compression efficiency. With WANScalers in the network, End users in the branch office will experience LAN-line application performance over the WAN which means less time waiting for slow applications and more time using the application.

Citrix WANScaler offers a completely transparent, end-to-end solution for all IP-based WANs (e.g. private leased lines, public Internet VPNs, satellite, and wireless WANs). Transparency eliminates the need for any changes to current network management tools, firewalls, network services, or applications. The solution supports hundreds of branch offices and WAN throughput up to 500 Mbps.

WANScaler solutions deliver increased WAN throughput and improved application response times for all applications. The system is built upon the AutoOptimizer Engine, which automatically and dynamically applies to each data flow the best combination of performance boosting techniques depending on the application, the data, and the network conditions. These techniques include Adaptive TCP Flow Control, Multi-Level Compression, protocol acceleration (e.g. Common Internet File System or CIFS), and layer 4 service class policies. The AutoOptimizer Engine is an industry first, introducing a “no dials” paradigm to the WAN Optimization and Application Acceleration market.
