Product Description
The Juniper Networks
®
WX Central Management System (WX CMS) offers a powerful,
intuitive solution for centrally managing, monitoring, and configuring Juniper Networks
WXC Series Application Acceleration Platforms distributed throughout an enterprise.
Running on Microsoft Windows 2000 and 2003 servers, the WX CMS software supports
multiple versions of the WXC Series operating system software and can be accessed
securely from any compatible browser connection through HTTPS.
The WX CMS software provides unprecedented visibility into how applications are
performing over the WAN, offering detailed information about traffic patterns, bandwidth
consumption, and other performance trends that IT can use to maximize WAN resources.
An integrated content distribution feature also enables the WX CMS software to pre-
populate distributed WXC Series by proactively pushing large files intended for company-
wide distribution, eliminating the need for separate enterprise content delivery network
(ECDN) solutions.
The monitoring software helps IT learn how users and applications are interacting over the
WAN, reporting on bandwidth consumption, top talkers, and how quality of service (QoS)
policies are impacting overall application throughput. An Event Management Console
displays a comprehensive list of WAN and application problems, enabling IT to quickly
pinpoint trouble spots, determine whether the WAN is at fault, and drill down to identify
and resolve issues.
The WX CMS software also provides visibility into each element of the WXC Series
Framework, which defines the attributes required to accelerate application performance
over the WAN. With WX CMS, IT can manage additional WAN capacity created by
Molecular Sequence Reduction (MSR) and Network Sequence caching technologies,
see the impact that Packet Flow Acceleration (PFA) and Application Flow Acceleration
(AppFlow) technologies have on application performance, allocate bandwidth and
prioritize applications through QoS, and direct applications over multiple WAN links with
the Policy-based Multipath feature.
Product Overview
When it comes to WAN optimization,
visibility into the distributed enterprise
is absolutely critical to understand
how applications are performing,
ensure uninterrupted operations, and
maintain maximum user productivity.
The Juniper Networks WX Central
Management System from Juniper
Networks dramatically simplifies
monitoring and control of the Juniper
Networks WXC Series Application
Acceleration Platforms, providing
IT with unprecedented visibility into
WAN and application performance.
Aggregated reports detailing
application performance across the
WAN enable IT to make informed
decisions and exercise complete
control over the parameters that aect
business policies.
