The New Network Uses WAFS
Juniper Networks delivers powerful compression and caching, acceleration, application control, and visibility capabilities through its pioneering WX Framework. Incorporated into every WX Series and WXC Series Application Acceleration Platform, the WX Framework fully supports data centralization requirements and enables seamless collaboration among employees in different locations.
Centralizing file servers yields a number of benefits, but it creates performance problems as the data that branch-office users access travels over the WAN. Because the Microsoft Common Internet File System (CIFS) protocol is inherently inefficient over the WAN; branch-office users can experience slow links, high latency, and bandwidth contention, among other problems. Juniper Networks delivers an integrated WAN file system optimization solution that addresses the WAN challenges impacting the performance of CIFS.
