Application Optimization
Boost Application Performance in Your SD-WAN
Application Optimization
With a world on the go, the need for instant file sharing, and the sheer number of applications used, bandwidth is a problem for most enterprises.
High bandwidth usage and connectivity issues can lead to a significantly degraded user experience. Application optimization helps to address this problem by reducing bandwidth usage – applying caching and compression algorithms and accelerating slow applications by protocol optimization.

The Cherry On Top of the SD-WAN Cake
Open Systems SD-WAN can be seen as a cake with a number of different layers:
- Connectivity: Allows you to integrate reliable and fast lines
- Path Selection: Let’s you use all available bandwidth in an optimal way
- Bandwidth Control: Provide the opportunity to prioritize and protect your business-critical apps
Open Systems application optimization is that last layer, the cherry on top, helping you to reduce bandwidth usage and accelerate your applications.

How Does Application Optimization Work?
Our SD-WAN is purpose-built to simplify network and security operations to help IT teams increase business agility, optimize resources, and improve customer experiences and employee productivity.
- Identify suitable blocks for caching
- Efficiently hash and distribute caching blocks
- Ensure data integrity and synchronization of cache data
- Locate cached blocks and replace them by small block references
- Identify caching blocks across protocols
- Apply caching for uploads and downloads
- Identify blocks for compression
- Compress data block without loss by reducing statistical redundancy (lossless)
- Send smaller block over network
- Decompress data block: restore the original data block
- Identify protocols for optimization
- Apply protocol optimization actions:
1. Write ahead/read behind for CIFS
2. Encode lengthy header information for HTTP traffic without loss
3. Adapt congestion control windowing for TCP traffic
4.If required: customized protocol optimization
