Cisco Wide Area
Application Services is a powerful application
acceleration and WAN optimization solution that optimizes
the performance of any TCP-based application operating
over a Wide Area Network (WAN) environment. This allows IT
organisations to consolidate costly branch office servers
and storage into centrally-managed data centres, and to
deploy new applications directly from a data center, while
still offering LAN-like application performance for any
employee regardless of location.
