Accelerate WAN Access for Mobile Devices

摘要

One major issue with a WAN accelerator is that both or all ends of WAN have to be equipped with a WAN accelerator appliance/device. So if I want to accelerate the connectivity between my WAN and my mobile users, then this traditional technique fails. What's needed here is a software WAN accelerator which can sit directly on top of laptops and enhance the connectivity experience of mobile users. This kind of a setup will be very useful for those having a mobile task force connecting over a slow link such as GPRS or dialup to the datacenter for accessing or submitting information. This resolves one more key challenge of WAN accelerators -its configuration. The solution can be configured in less than an hour and you can get the benefits instantly. It is called REPTOR from Replify. In this story we will see how to deploy and use it and the kind of performance enhancement it provides in different situations.
