●
Compression: By nature, the data being exchanged is highly compressible using the advanced compression
algorithm. The router takes the burden and latency of the compression from the end-user applications and
applies that just before it sends the packet, thereby reducing the payload that must be sent. Compression
results in fewer bytes exchanged and faster response to applications that are waiting for data.
●
Application optimization: The application-optimization technique takes advantage of how certain
applications behave. The algorithm uses several factors to improve the application performance, such as
perfecting, anticipation, caches, and many more. Application optimization benefits popular applications such
as email messaging, web browsing, and data transfer (FTP).
The combination of Cisco WAAS and 4G LTE yields these benefits:
●
Lower WAN expenses: When the amount of data that is transferred over the radio is reduced, the
associated bill from the service provider is reduced significantly.
●
Improved application performance: The end-user applications run much faster and overall user experience
is better, resulting in improved productivity and better return on investment (ROI).
●
Enable more services: Do more with less. Cisco WAAS allows the enterprise to deploy more services for a
given WAN than it could without it. The WAN bandwidth and latency are managed efficiently to support
more applications and services per router.
