Overview

High performance businesses are figuring out that they don't need to make compromises between IT and user requirements. They can accomplish both today. In fact, discriminating organizations are going a step further by recognizing the added long term benefit of investing in an application acceleration solution that is part of a broader high performance network-driven strategy. This allows them to take advantage of continuous innovation and richer levels of integration which will optimize and extend their network investment.

Juniper Networks WX is the best-in-class application acceleration platform. This is based on broad application support including Web-based, client-server, custom software, voice and video applications supporting TCP, UDP, MAPI, CIFS, and HTTP/S protocol. It delivers the performance and scale to support large application deployments in geographically distributed environments, including unmatched acceleration of TCP Flow volume which maps more realistically with the number of individual network transactions.

Its comprehensive management system centrally manages, monitors, and troubleshoots application and network performance, and it complements Juniper's high performance network infrastructure, including routing, switching and security.

Benefits

The WX product family coupled with WX CMS management software enables high-performance businesses to create a competitive advantage by providing:

  • Uninterrupted productivity - Accelerates mission-critical applications and rich content by reducing the volume of traffic.
  • Confident interactions and transactions - Accelerates delivery of web applications by speeding application-specific protocols (TCP, UDP, HTTP/S, MAPI, CIFS).
  • Real time collaboration and communications - Accelerates real-time business-critical applications, such as VoIP, by prioritizing and allocating bandwidth.
  • Quick, secure access to the WAN - Accelerates features for secure applications, such as HTTPS, encrypted Remote Desktop Connections or CIFS with SMB signing.
  • Proactive network and application traffic management - Provides the network and application visibility to deliver applications exactly as intended, on a consistent basis.
  • Improved operational and cost efficiencies - productivity gains the WX and WXC platforms provide in the form of application acceleration contribute to improving the bottom line.

Product Demos

WX Framework Application Control Technologies

In wide-area networks that connect branch offices to the data center, all data traffic competes for the same limited bandwidth. That's not always good for business, especially if slow, low-priority traffic delays time-sensitive, mission-critical transactions.

This three-minute demo explores how the WX Framework's Application Control techniques — specifically Quality of Service (QoS) and Policy-based Multipath capabilities — help businesses properly allocate WAN resources to maintain service levels and ensure that sufficient resources are always available for high-priority business applications.

WX Framework Acceleration Technologies

The WX Framework defines the attributes required of a true WAN acceleration and optimization solution, based on four specific categories: compression and caching; acceleration; application control; and visibility.

This demo describes the acceleration capabilities enabled by the WX Framework and integrated into the Juniper WX and WXC application acceleration platforms. The demo covers both Packet Flow Acceleration, which improves the performance of TCP-based applications throughout the extended enterprise; and Application Flow Acceleration, which speeds response times for specific applications — namely Microsoft Exchange, Windows files services, and web-based applications — whose performance is constrained by the performance limitations and latency imposed by their underlying Layer 7 protocols.

WX CMS Software Demo

The Juniper WAN application acceleration (WX/WXC) platforms are equipped with powerful visibility and reporting tools that provide insight into WAN and application performance. WebView allows per-device management, while the WX Central Management System (CMS) software provides easy-to-use and extensive central configuration, monitoring, and management capabilities for up to 2,000 geographically dispersed WX and WXC platforms.

This demo highlights the main features and functionalities of the WX CMS software, including the “My WAN” portal, monitoring and reporting, device and configuration management, auto-deployment and license management, and role-based administration. See the demo


Solution Demos

Juniper Networks Application Acceleration Solutions

To keep pace in today's competitive business climate, companies must streamline their business operations to increase productivity and reduce costs. Server centralization and data center consolidation initiatives help, but trends like globalization and expansion conflict with these initiatives and threaten to undermine their benefits.

This four-minute demo describes how the Juniper Networks application acceleration solutions embrace these trends and help businesses achieve their strategic IT objectives while reducing costs, improving application performance, and maximizing existing network investments. See the demo now


Juniper Networks Branch Office Demo

Branch offices are a critical component of today's enterprises. By some accounts, between 80% and 90% of employees are located in branch or regional offices. The result of all the latest trends is the need for a new branch office solution - one that meets branch office security, connectivity, and performance challenges and requirements. Take a look at this demo to the see the latest branch office trends and challenges, what the requirements are for building an ideal branch office solution as well as the Juniper Networks security, networking, and application acceleration branch office solutions that will meet your needs. See the demo
