SonicWall :: WAN Acceleration

WXA 5000 (VM)

The SonicWALL WXA 5000 reduces application latency and conserves bandwidth, significantly enhancing WAN application performance and user experience for small- to medium-sized organisations just as WXA hardware solutions do. But with a hardened, performance-optimised virtual server, integration is simplified, administration is eased, and costs are lowered even further.


Unlike standalone acceleration products, the SonicWALL WXA 5000 seamlessly integrates with SonicWALL E-Class Network Security Appliance (NSA), NSA and TZ Series Unified Threat Management (NGFW) Firewall solutions to offer the unique combined benefit of both prioritising and minimising application traffic between sites, resulting in optimal network performance.

WXA 5000 Virtual Appliance Features


The WXA 5000 virtual appliance improves application performance through innovative WAN acceleration and optimisation technology, while reducing capital costs through virtualisation.


Increased Savings.
A pre-configured virtual machine has no professional service fees or hidden costs. By running multiple operating systems and applications on a single computer, businesses can consolidate resources and reduce expenses.


Easy migration and management.
Deployment costs are minimised since administrators can simple move a snapshot of a virtual environment to a new physical server infrastructure. Ongoing support is also simplified. Each virtual appliance is designed for up to 400+ users.

Bandwidth optimisation.
The WXA 5000 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.


Reliability.
A hardened OS prohibits users from tampering with the underlying integrity of the virtual appliances. The performance optimised architecture activates only necessary processes.




Reduced total cost of ownership (TCO).
By improving the efficiency and overall utilization of existing WAN bandwidth, the WXA 5000 helps businesses avoid incurring higher monthly expenses to increase WAN bandwidth capacity.



Data compression.
The WXA 5000 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
