SonicWall WAN Acceleration
Significantly enhance application transfer performance and increase employee productivity

Overview:

In today's distributed enterprise, applications such as Microsoft SharePoint and Windows File Share transmit an increasing number of files and data sets over Wide Area Networks (WANs), overburdening available WAN bandwidth. To make matters worse, these collaboration applications can inefficiently retransmit entire files (rather than just incremental changes) multiple times, unnecessarily increasing WAN traffic. IT often responds by expending budget on more bandwidth or enhanced services. Alternatively, WAN acceleration technology can resolve the problem by allowing more efficient utilization of the existing network bandwidth.

The SonicWall WAN Acceleration Appliance (WXA) Series reduces application latency and conserves bandwidth, significantly enhancing WAN application performance and improving the end user experience for small- to medium-sized organizations with remote and branch offices. After initial data transfer, the WXA Series dramatically reduces all subsequent traffic by transmitting only new or changed data across the network. Deployed in conjunction with a SonicWall E-Class Network Security Appliance (NSA), NSA or TZ Unified Threat Management (NGFW) Firewall and Application Intelligence and Control Service, the WXA offers the unique combined benefit of prioritizing application traffic and minimizing it between sites, resulting in optimal network performance.

Increase Productivity

Increase productivity by enabling your applications to run faster at remote and branch offices without paying to add more bandwidth.

• LAN like application performance over the WAN
• Comprehensive scanning for intrusions and malware
• Simplified deployment, routing and integration
• Data de-duplication, byte caching and file caching
• Protocol optimization decreases latency and chattiness
• Scalability through clustering
• HTTP (web) caching improves browser response times

Get fast WAN performance for your applications

SonicWall WXA solutions enable your applications to run faster at remote and branch offices without adding more bandwidth. Cut down on duplicate information and reduce latency for peak network performance with data de-duplication, byte caching and file caching. After initial data transmission, you can limit subsequent traffic to only new or changed data.

Seamless integrate WXA with your next-generation firewall

You can seamlessly integrate the WXA Series with your SonicWall next-generation firewall. This powerful combination lets you maximize security and WAN performance. This is because it scans traffic for threats before accelerating it across a virtual private network (VPN) or dedicated WAN link. You can also simplify the deployment, placement, routing, configuration, management and integration of WXA with other parts of your security solution.
