Implement advanced WAN optimization, application acceleration, and branch virtualization with Cisco WAAS 4.1

This book brings together all the information you need to design and deploy scalable, transparent
application acceleration, WAN optimization, and branch virtualization solutions with dramatically
improved Wide Area Application Services (WAAS) 4.1 products from Cisco®.

Cisco WAAS insiders Joel Christner, Zach Seils, and Nancy Jin systematically cover new WAAS
software enhancements that enable far better performance, simplified workflow, and improved
manageability. They introduce powerful new solution components including application-specific
acceleration techniques, hardware form factors, and virtualization. They also thoroughly explain recent
architectural improvements that provide a solid foundation for future WAAS solutions.

The authors begin by reviewing the underlying technologies that comprise today’s Cisco WAAS solution.
Next, drawing on extensive personal experience, they walk through collecting requirements, designing effective
solutions, integrating WAAS into existing networks, and configuring WAAS 4.1 software.

This book is replete with real-world implementation examples and case studies– including extensive coverage of
network, branch office, and data center integration. One step at a time, you’ll learn how to deploy Cisco WAAS
in a scalable, transparent, and seamless fashion: one that addresses both your business and technical challenges.
