Citrix Wanscaler

WANScaler’s market leading compression technology lowers link conjestion,an increase in data throughput and accelerates application response. Citrix’s one of a kind Multi-Level Compression relates multiple compression mechanisms before transmitting data, with a selection of the optimal compression techniques based upon network load conditions, WAN bandwidth and traffic type. Multi-Level Compression, is integrated into all WANScaler products, results in compression ratios of 10:1 to 300:1, and up to a peak of 3500:1. Therefore, organisation scan support more users and more application traffic on their WAN infrastructure, while getting better performance for all applications delivered to the branch office.

Branch office users can now be provided with high-performance application delivery solutions by purchasing Citrix WANScaler. WANScaler's accelerate application performance throughout the whole wide area network (WAN) by an average of 5x to 30x, and a maximum of 300x at peak compression efficiency. If WANScalers are deployed into the network, End users in the branch office will benefit from LAN-line application performance across the WAN therefore providing accelerated application response time.

No matter the size of the branch office whether it be a datacenter or mobile workers Citrix WANScaler delivers application acceleration to branch offices of any size. The AutoOptimizer Engine, which serves as the foundation of the WANScaler architecture, provides flexible deployment choices: the WANScaler Client software accelerates application delivery to mobile users where they be working from home or on the road, while users in larger branch offices are supported with WANScaler appliances.

Citrix WANScaler delivers a complete transparent, end-to-end WAN Optimization solution for all IP-based WANs (e.g. private leased lines, public Internet VPNs, satellite, and wireless WANs).  Transparency gets rid of the requirements for any modifications to current network management tools, firewalls, network services, or applications. This solution supports hundreds of branch offices and WAN throughput up to 500 Mbps.

WANScaler interates seamlessly into your current infrastructure and is non-evasive so there is no need to modify the current network configuration. Also, WANScaler’s client option further sets it apart it from other products on the market by increasing application performance to mobile workers.

WANScaler solutions deliver even more WAN throughput and enhanced application response times for all applications. The system has the basics of the Auto Optimizer Engine, which automatically and dynamically applies the best combination of WAN performance boosting techniques to all data flow depending on the application, the data, and the network conditions. These procedures consist of Adaptive TCP Flow Control, Multi-Level Compression, protocol acceleration (e.g. Common Internet File System or CIFS), and layer 4 service class policies. The Auto Optimizer Engine is original, introducing a “no dials” paradigm to the WAN Optimization and Application Acceleration market.

Citrix offers a dynamic network-transparent WAN Optimization solution that doesn’t rely on disruptive tunnelling techniques. Therefore your network monitoring tools, firewalls and applications don't require modification or reconfiguration when the Citrix WANScaler solution is deployed. It just works straight away without any problems.

Citrix WANScaler enables enterprises to:

• Extend collaborative workflows and improve productivity on a global scale Citrix WANScaler accelerates files and application data over the WAN between dispersed branch offices. Users spend time using the application instead of waiting for it.


• Capitalise on cost savings with IT resource consolidation Citrix WANScaler enables consolidation of applications and data storage into a few datacentres. Cost savings can be achieved by reducing datacentres and simplifying the application infrastructure.


• Protect data centrally Citrix WANScaler speeds data delivery to branches, allowing data to be stored and replicated in a protected facility to meet regulatory or corporate mandates for data security and disaster recovery.

WANScaler appliances are so easy to install, and is done so without disturbing your current infrastructure and can be ready and working with in around five minutes thanks to being auto-discovered, auto-configured and auto-tuned. The Auto Optimizer Engine automatically relates the right combination of WAN acceleration procedures based on network conditions, data flows, and application mix - and dynamically tunes the system as these variables change, making sure of optimal WAN performance at all times.
