Cisco Systems 612 Manual De Usuario

Migrate application and file servers from branch offices into centrally 
managed data centers. 

Minimize unnecessary WAN bandwidth consumption through the use of 
advanced compression algorithms. 

Provide print services to branch office users. Cisco WAAS allows you to 
configure a WAE as a print server so you do not need to deploy a dedicated 
system to fulfill print requests. 

Improve application performance over the WAN by addressing the following 
common issues: 

Low data rates (constrained bandwidth) 

Slow delivery of frames (high network latency) 

Higher rates of packet loss (low reliability)

With ACNS software installed, the WAE appliance functions as a Content 
Distribution Manager, Content Engine, or Content Router. The Content 
Distribution Manager provides a graphical user interface to manage registered 
Content Engines and Content Routers. The ACNS solution addresses the need to 
distribute and receive high-bandwidth, media-rich content across the Internet or 
an intranet without performance losses or content-delivery delays.

ACNS software offers the following content-based services:

Content caching and hosting

Proxy services

Content replication

Video streaming

In Content Engine mode, the WAE operates either as a component of an ACNS 
network or as a standalone content-caching device and is generally positioned on 
the WAN edge between your enterprise network and the Internet.

The WAE-612 supports device-mode configuration and can be configured with 
ACNS 5.x software to operate as a Content Engine, a Content Router, a Content 
Distribution Manager, or an IP/TV Program Manager. The WAE-512 operates as 
a Content Engine only.
