A distributed enterprise needs both encryption and optimization to operate securely and with high performance. Juniper Networks provides a solution for both of these requirements in the use of WX application acceleration platforms for optimizing application performance across the WAN and Firewall/VPN security devices for IPSec encryption. The WX normally is placed on the internal LAN (trusted) side of the firewall, but because the WX encapsulates traffic into IP tunnels, it hides information about those packets from the firewall. Putting the WX on the WAN (untrusted) side of the firewall "Solves" this problem; however, if the firewall is also providing encryption services, then the WX cannot optimize traffic received from it, since encrypted traffic cannot be optimized (accelerated or compressed).
