SonicWall :: WAN Acceleration

WXA 500 (CD)

The WXA 500 Live CD improves performance through innovative WAN acceleration and optimisation technology for offices of up 20+ users. It dramatically improves the performance of VPN connections between your small offices, or between branch and head offices.


Just like the SonicWALL WXA hardware solutions, the 500 reduces application latency, conserves network bandwidth, and improves the end user experience—only it’s delivered as software for use on a dedicated hardware platform.

WXA 500 Live CD Features


The SonicWALL WXA 500 Live CD improves application performance through innovative WAN acceleration and optimisation technology, plus it provides added control over the platform and the WAN acceleration application itself.

Deployment.
Designed for up to 20 users, the WXA 500 Live CD is a bootable image of the WXA software and can be easily deployed on dedicated hardware.


Bandwidth optimisation.

The WXA 500 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.



Reduced Total.
By improving the efficiency and overall utilisation of existing WAN bandwidth, the WXA 500 helps businesses avoid incurring higher monthly expenses to increase WAN bandwidth capacity.



Data compression.

The WXA 500 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
