Real-World Benefits
WXC Series Framework capabilities help IT professionals
overcome their toughest wide area challenges. Molecular
Sequence Reduction (MSR) compression technology, for
instance, reduces application data flows across WAN links by
60 to 75 percent, which translates into a capacity increase
of up to four times. This “extra” capacity can be used for new
application rollouts without having to invest in additional
bandwidth. The Network Sequence Caching technology, which
uses hard disks to store larger data patterns for longer periods
of time, reduces traffic flows up to 99 percent—a 50 to 100
times capacity increase—again, without having to re-provision
a single link.
Acceleration techniques boost application response times at
branch offices by 5 to 10 times on average. Working with generic protocols such as TCP
and specific applications such as Microsoft Exchange (MAPI), Microsoft File Services
(CIFS) and Web servers (HTTP/HTTPS) and SSL, the WXC Series brings performance
gains of up to 100 times—more than sufficient to justify the centralization of critical
application servers.
QoS assures application delivery by effectively managing bandwidth and establishing and
enforcing prioritization policies. Business-critical and delay-sensitive applications always
get the bandwidth they need, without interfering with other applications. And Juniper’s
Policy-Based Multipath technology lets IT assign application traffic to specific links when
more than one is available, providing an additional level of control to assure effective
application delivery.
WXOS Operating System Software
The WX Operating System (WXOS) software is the foundation of the Juniper Networks
WXC Series Application Acceleration Platforms. Supporting the interdependent
technologies of the WXC Series Framework that provide powerful compression, caching,
acceleration, application control, and visibility for the WXC Series products, the WXOS
software enables LAN-like application delivery across the WAN.
WX Central Management System (WX CMS) Software
One of the most critical issues to address in WAN optimization is visibility into an
enterprise’s distributed network and applications. All too often, IT does not have—and
cannot get the budget to buy—the tools needed to really understand what is traversing
the WAN. More than any other single feature of the WXC Series Framework, the WX CMS
software is tightly woven into every other function, providing IT with aggregated reporting
of WAN and application performance, and control over the parameters that affect
business policies.
