Expand Application Acceleration

Application Acceleration : Overview

Oracle

A Compass solution for Oracle Applications, as documented by the real-world report graphs, will significantly improve usable bandwidth on the WAN link (8 Mbps on a 2 Mbps link) as well as application acceleration (300% - 500% on average and 1,500% -6,500% in peak situations).

SAP

Expand Networks’ Compass platform delivers a unique solution that mitigates the impact of the hostile WAN, accelerating SAP to the remote workforce, for all SAP architectures. The Compass platform is actually a multi-service platform that integrates the best technologies, on a single, cost-effective appliance (the Accelerator).

Microsoft Exchange

The Compass approach to Exchange optimization is one where the best parts of Microsoft functionality are used when possible. For example, starting with Outlook 2003, Microsoft enabled a cache mode function that does a fantastic job at mitigating the performance hit of MAPI over the WAN.

Citrix ICA

• Up to 1,000% Citrix ICA acceleration over the WAN, with a consistent 300%
• Reliably add 50% more user sessions on the same network
• QoS to protect ICA sessions performance
• Protocol acceleration to speed larger ICA transfers over the WAN
• Transparency to simplify infrastructure integration

RDP

To completely remove congestion as an issue, Compass’ easy to use QoS will make sure that what is important to the business is also important to the network. RDP will not be slowed or flat out disconnected as a result of other traffic sharing the WAN link. In addition, Compass’ TCP protocol acceleration will help speed those larger RDP transfers, such as graphic applications usage, web browsing, and image viewing

Double-Take

Using advanced predictive compression algorithms that are lossless, Compass is able to reduce Double-Take’s traffic footprint on the WAN – even when all of the traffic is from Double-Take’s bandwidth saving features. In fact, on average, only considering Double-Take traffic, Compass will accelerate traffic by more than 250% with peaks of as much as 2,000%, and even reduces the transfer times as well. This means that efficient data replication can reach new levels.

MRO

Fortunately, Maximo users in even the most remote locations can enjoy response times on par with users at headquarters when Expand’s Compass platform is on the job. The Compass platform integrates the needed Application Acceleration technologies into one appliance, providing proven solutions to combat WAN congestion and latency – the two biggest contributors of degraded response time performance for remote users.

NetApp SnapMirror

Using advanced predictive compression algorithms that are lossless, Compass is able to reduce SnapMirror’s traffic footprint on the WAN – even when all of the traffic is from SnapMirror’s bandwidth saving features. In fact, on average, in a mix of filer traffic, Compass will accelerate traffic by more than 300% and often reduces the transfer times by more than 85%. This means that efficient data distribution can reach new levels.

MIMIX

Fortunately, when combined with Expand’s Compass platform, the performance hindering WAN can be made to behave like the LAN. In fact, recognizing the challenges of the WAN and the complete solution offered by Compass, Lakeview sold their own Network1 WAN Optimization solution, an OEM of Compass technology, for several years. Using advanced predictive compression algorithms that are lossless, Compass is able to reduce MIMIX’s traffic footprint on the WAN – even when all of the traffic is from MIMIX’s bandwidth saving features.

BAAN

When WAN congestion makes flexible application suite perform poorly, Expand’s Compass technology is precisely the solution fit for the challenge. Reliably accelerating throughput on average by 600% transparently (with frequent peaks near 2,500%), congestion will be all but removed from the equation, without any changes to the client or server.
