Overview
Most enterprises, especially large ones, require WAN optimization benefits to be delivered globally to consistently meet the quality of experience requirements of their whole distributed workforce. However traditional WOC solutions are faced with four challenges that prevent the delivery of WAN optimization on a global scale: scalability, efficiency, management costs and investment costs.


Ipanema's next generation solution, the Ipanema System, has been designed from the ground up for global WAN optimization deployments. It provides unprecedented scalability, enabling it to deliver WAN optimization to thousands of sites. Ipanema's objective based management model makes WAN optimization management workload nearly independent from the number of sites it is deployed over and requires much less effort than do traditional approaches. The inherent complexity of large and meshed networks is fully handled by the system architecture. Finally, the system supports innovative deployment options enabling the deployment of devices only in provably required locations.


Visibility is fundamental to a strategic WAN optimization deployment. Enterprises want to understand what is at stake first before investing in a global deployment. They also need to understand the impact of the technology on application and business performance. Ipanema's Visibility provides a unique insight on application performance to achieve these goals.
