WAAS excels at core functions of WAN Accelerators
3 Month ROI, $1.3M annual productivity gain
5x improvement in app performance
Our staff is elated with the 500 percent increase in application acceleration.”
Dave Brady, VP of IT
Remote Application PerformanceProductivity improvement for business applications (email, office, ERP, CRM)
WAN OptimizationDefer bandwidth upgradesSimplify VOIP deployment on WAN by recovering bandwidth from data apps
1.3 Months ROI due to deferred WAN bandwidth upgrade
“We are seeing an average of 60% capacity improvement for our WAN bandwidth.”
Steve Rains, System Director, Information Technology
Branch Server Consolidation• 4-6 servers per remote location (file, print, software
distribution etc.)• $10K+ savings in opex per server
$144K/year OpEx Saving. 6X faster medical image transfer
“Cisco WAAS is the most transparent and easiest solution to implement … as it does not require us to overhaul our security infrastructure.”Mark Drake, Network Engineer
Eliminate RoBO Tape Backup• Enables regulatory compliance• Tape backup/restore in the branch is costly and tapes often
get lost
$40K/year Savings
60x faster application response time
“WAAS clearly met our needs and is the most cost-effective solution among all alternatives that we evaluated.”
Paul Babcock, Manager of Network & Computer Operations

Remote Desktop Challenges over the WAN
Virtual Desktop BenefitsLower operating costs for
desktops
Business continuity – tighten desktop control
Improve productivity –any desktop, any time
Virtual Desktop Challenges
End-user performance and printing over the WAN
High bandwidth consumption •T1 link supports only 5-6 users
Cost of scaleable deployments

WAAS Increases Scalability of # Users by 2X-4X
WAN: T1, 100 msec RTT, 0% Packet Loss
RDP Bandwidth Challenges
•A Single RDP session consumes > 300 Kbps
•Less than 5-6 users supported on a T1 link
WAAS addresses RDP B/W issues
•WAAS reduces B/W consumption by 3X
•WAAS Increases number RDP users on WAN by 2x-4x
•Accelerate your VDI deployments
