WXA Features
The WXA 2000 hardware appliance improves application performance through
innovative WAN acceleration and optimization technology, allowing
remote users to collaborate, share and revise large files more
effectively and efficiently.

Powerful performance.
With 2 GB of RAM and a 250 GB hard drive, the WXA 2000 can support up to
120 users and 600 concurrent flows on a single appliance.

Bandwidth optimisation.
The WXA 2000 remembers data that has been transferred previously, and
through data de-duplication, replaces repeated bytes sequences with an
identifier to reduce application latency and conserve bandwidth.

Simplified deployment.
As an add-on solution to SonicWALL firewall appliances, the WXA 2000
drastically reduces the complexity of deploying, routing and managing
the WXA appliance.

Reduced total cost of ownership (TCO).
By improving the efficiency and overall utilization of existing WAN
bandwidth, the WXA 2000 helps businesses avoid incurring higher monthly
expenses to increase WAN bandwidth capacity.

Data compression.
The WXA 2000 increases network performance while reducing latency by compressing data sent across the WAN.
Platform features.
SonicWALL WXA solutions reduce application latency and conserve
bandwidth with a variety of optimisation techniques, including data
caching, file de-duplication, traffic prioritisation and more.

Increased security.
When deployed with a SonicWALL NGFW Firewall, an additional layer of
security is provided through the use of SonicWALL Reassembly-Free Deep
Packet Inspection technology, which scans all traffic and data for
threats before sending it to the WAN acceleration appliance.

Byte caching and file caching.
Reducing bandwidth consumption by orders of magnitude, byte caching
and file caching extend the life of existing WAN links and greatly
enhance the user experience.

Protocol optimisation.
Users accessing resources over the WAN can take advantage of
LAN-like application performance that decreases the latency and
chattiness presented by inefficient protocols or application
communication.

Windows File Sharing (WFS) acceleration.
SonicWALL WXA solutions help improve response times while decreasing
the amount of data transferred when downloading or accessing files from
a shared drive.

Visualisation.
Administrative tools and reports deliver real-time insight into the
performance gains obtained by introducing WAN acceleration appliances
into the network.

Bandwidth prioritisation.
When deployed in conjunction with SonicWALL Application Intelligence
and Control Service, WXA solutions offer the unique combined benefit of
both prioritising application traffic and minimising traffic between
sites, resulting in optimal network performance
