In my last blog, I discussed why application proxies are becoming less frequently used in the WAN Optimization space today. To recap, the NUMBER ONE reason that technology has largely moved away from the “Layer-7 Proxy” model is because of the high propensity to “break” many of the applications they purport to help. The Aryaka […]
Understanding Application Proxies An Application Proxy was a piece of software that was inserted into the middle of an application data stream (generally operating between layers 4 -7 of the OSI model) as a shim to “fix” a characteristic of the application that caused it to perform poorly over a WAN connection. These “fixes” tended […]
For companies that rely on making real-time information available across globally distributed offices, agility can be a major concern. 1) They want to connect remote offices quickly, and 2) They want a fast, reliable network. So, why is agility so important? The math is fairly simple: speed equals productivity. Taking months to connect an office […]
Over the past few weeks, we’ve seen news coming from the old-school networking incumbents announcing that they are making moves to improve the performance of cloud-based applications. It’s no secret that the future of enterprise apps is in the cloud, so when we hear about “cloud networks” and “acceleration to branch offices,” we expect to […]

Study the past if you would define the future. Confucius, Chinese Philosopher and Reformer So, what does the next-generation WAN look like? In an attempt to answer this question, I thought I’d look back in time, to see how the WAN has evolved so far. The evolution of the WAN has followed the evolution of […]
When you’re in Vegas, you know that the house has an advantage on whatever game you decide to gamble your hard-earned money on. They don’t build those fancy casinos on the backs of winners, after all! The same is true with traditional enterprise networking. Traditional MPLS and appliance-based WAN Optimization vendors offer very little flexibility […]

Maybe you’ve never associated the IT problems of network managers with Cinderella’s, but having to chase and resolve endless latency and packet loss concerns on the global WAN really keeps the tech folks locked away. They aren’t getting the time to attend the “ball” of more strategic work: planning new innovation, heightening security, boosting Big […]
