  2. Agenda • Background • Customer use cases • Market landscape • Customers • How it works • Product Line • Competition • Resources

  3. What is WX • Juniper Networks WX is an application acceleration platform, • enabling customers to securely and rapidly access mission-critical applications, • for their users across the WAN, • resulting in increased productivity and reduced capital and operational costs. 

  4. WX Sweet Spots Top qualifying questions (a yes to at least one) Are file transfers across the WAN taking too long? Are WAN links to branch offices slow or congested? Do critical applications as SAP, Oracle, Siebel run slow in branch offices? Are you moving application servers out of the branch and centralizing them in the data center? Do you have widely distributed workgroup locations that share files on a regular basis? Do you have expensive, high-latency links such as satellite links? Do you have limited visibility into application performance and behavior on the WAN?

  5. Use cases • Improve response times for interactive applications. • Databases and other transaction-processing applications where there's revenue tied to every transaction. • Speed bulk data transfers • include backups and disaster-recovery processes, both of which require moving a lot of data in a hurry. • WAN bandwidth reduction. • When links are overloaded and the cost of adding more WAN capacity is an issue.

  6. Business Objectives • Reduce costs • Increase productivity • Ensure regulatory compliance IT Objectives • Consolidate servers, data centers • Simplify administration, backup, and recovery • Reduce branch office equipment and staff User Objectives • Get instant response times • Collaborate easilyand readily • Avoid complexity Conflict in the Distributed Enterprise

  14. How it works • WX improves application performance over the WAN by • recognizing and eliminating redundant transmissions, • accelerating TCP, IP and application-specific protocols, • prioritizing and allocating access to bandwidth, and • ensuring high-application availability, at sites with multiple WAN links.
