Juniper Application Acceleration Platform WXC 500

Juniper Application Acceleration Platform WXC 500 ... application delivery over the WAN. Based on the integrated WX Framework, which delivers all the elements needed to accelerate applications and optimize WAN performance, the WXC platforms help businesses improve application response times, maximize WAN investments, and control and prioritize key applications.

The hard drives provide support for Network Sequence Caching, which dramatically speeds the transfer of large files by eliminating repetitive data sequences. The hard-drive storage supplies the capacity needed to store long data sequences for long periods of time, enabling up to 100-fold increases in WAN capacity. The WXC platforms constantly communicate, exchanging vital information such as topology, accessibility, and path-performance metrics. The WXC platforms also interoperate with the Juniper Networks WX application acceleration platforms.

WXC platforms can be installed and configured in just 10 minutes using a web-based wizard. Configuration can also be fully automated using the WXOS and WX Central Management System (CMS) software. IT simply defines centralized configuration templates; when remote WXC platforms boot up, they retrieve a network address, locate the WX CMS server through the domain name service (DNS), download their configuration file, and begin operation.
