WX Client

The WX Client offers a full suite of WAN optimization technology to accelerate WAN traffic and improve application response times for mobile end users and small office/home office end users:

• Compression and Caching: The Network Sequence Caching (NSC) feature identifies and replaces redundant data patterns with labels before forwarding across the WAN.
• TCP Acceleration: While compression effectively increases available bandwidth, TCP acceleration improves the performance of TCP applications where the use of available bandwidth is constrained by network latency.
• Application-Specific Protocol Acceleration: The WX Client uses the Application Flow Acceleration (AppFlow) technology to provide transparent acceleration for the Microsoft Common Internet File System (CIFS) protocol, which is constrained by much smaller windows than TCP.
• Ease of Configuration: To simplify configuration, the WX Client uses a secured dynamic endpoint discovery mechanism to form adjacencies with the WXC Series appliance on the fly. This eliminates the need for any upfront setup between the two endpoints.
• Ease of Deployment: By integrating with the SA Series, the WX Client solves the problem of distributing software to thousands of end user machines, maintaining control over versions and configuration policies.
• Low Total Cost of Ownership: The WX Client does not require a separate WAN optimization device, so it reduces the cost and management burden in small offices while providing all the benefits of the WXC Series Application Acceleration Platforms.
