IT organizations are employing application acceleration and WAN optimization technologies to facilitate centralization of costly infrastructure while maintaining performance expectations and to improve performance of already centralized applications and services. Cisco Systems provides an industry-leading robust and scalable application acceleration and WAN optimization solution through the use of Cisco Wide Area Application Services 4.0 (WAAS) Software and the Cisco Application Control Engine (ACE) for the Cisco Catalyst 6500 family of multilayer intelligent switches. This paper explains how these synergistic technologies combine to provide a highly scalable, reliable, proven, and robust solution for end-to-end network integrated application delivery.
