The market for collaborative applications has grown significantly with the introduction of Web-based solutions for collecting and sharing information among distributed employees. Microsoft SharePoint is an example of such an application that allows distributed teams to share and collaborate on documents using the network and a Web browser. SharePoint sites provide a central repository for documents, information, and ideas and allow users to work interactively with one another. When used by employees over a WAN, applications such as SharePoint are susceptible to performance challenges from excessive bandwidth consumption, slow performance, and lost productivity. Cisco Wide Area Application Services (WAAS) Software Version 4.0 can significantly improve throughput for SharePoint by overcoming the WAN conditions that can decrease SharePoint performance, thereby increasing productivity and minimizing bandwidth consumption.
