Application Acceleration and WAN Optimization Fundamentals introduces a better solution: integrating today's new generation of accelerator solutions to efficiently and effectively scale networks beyond traditional capabilities while improving performance and minimizing costs through consolidation?. Ted Grevers and Joel Christner begin by reviewing the challenges network professionals face in delivering applications to globally distributed workforce. Grevers and Christner show how to identify network consumers, prioritize traffic, and guarantee appropriate throughput and response time for critical business applications. Next, you compare options for integrating accelerators and optimization services into your network and to optimize content delivery. Ted Grevers, Jr., is a solutions manager for Cisco Systems IPTV Video Test and Architecture (C-VISTA) team. Grevers and Christner is a key contributor to the design and architecture of Cisco application delivery and application acceleration solutions. Providing high performance remote data access, content, video, rich media, and applications Understand how accelerators can improve network performance and minimize bandwidth consumption Use NetFlow with basic application requirements and network resources are allocated based on network utilization Ensure business priorities Identify performance barriers arising of networks, protocols, operating systems, file systems hardware, and employing the acceleration component-specific applications to reduce the negative impact of latency and bandwidth consumption Integrate content delivery network (CDN) for the center to manage the acquisition, security, and distribution of content Leverage to remote locations WAN optimization technologies to improve application throughput, mitigate the impact of latency and loss, and minimize WAN bandwidth consumption and optimize the performance of business-critical WAN applications This book is part of the Cisco Press Fundamentals Series. Books in this series introduce networking professionals to new networking technologies, covering network topologies, sample deployment concepts, protocols, and management techniques.
