WXA Features
The WXA 4000 hardware appliance improves application performance through innovative WAN acceleration and optimisation technology, allowing remote users to collaborate, share and revise large files more effectively and efficiently.

Powerful performance.
With 4 GB of RAM and two 250 GB hard drives in a RAID configuration, the WXA 4000 can support up to 240 users and 1,200 concurrent flows on a single appliance.

Bandwidth optimisation.
The WXA 4000 remembers data that has been transferred previously, and through data de-duplication, replaces repeated byte sequences with an identifier to reduce application latency and conserve bandwidth.

Simplified deployment.
As an add-on solution to SonicWALL NGFW firewall appliances, the WXA 4000 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 4000 helps businesses avoid incurring higher monthly expenses to increase WAN bandwidth capacity.

Data compression.
The WXA 4000 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
