The new WAN1100 is a tabletop hardware appliance designed to bring WAN optimization to small and remote office environments. Featuring a combination of size, simplicity and price-performance, the WAN1100 is engineered to broaden hub-and-spoke application acceleration deployment.

Many small and remote offices share a similar profile: they are often serviced by smaller Internet connections and are unlikely to be staffed by a team of IT experts. Nonetheless, workers at these locations require applications to function seamlessly in order carry out their job functions and maximize productivity.

With the WAN1100, remote and small offices can benefit from the same application experience gained by workers located at headquarters and major branch office facilities. The compact new appliance ships easily and mounts on virtually any surface.

Moreover, any office worker can easily plug in, connect and power on the appliance; from there, configuration can be pushed from a centralized management system or performed remotely by IT.

Starting at a list price of less than $2,000 for 10Mbps throughput and 40 concurrent TCP connections, WAN1100 appliances enable ROI that makes WAN optimization economically justifiable for more locations than ever before.

The new aCelera appliance may be used to accelerate a broad range of application traffic, including Microsoft, Oracle, SAP, IBM, Dell, file transfers, backup and replication and others.

In independent tests performed by Miercom -transferring a 1MB file over a 1.5Mbps connection using CIFS or HTTP-aCelera delivered 99 percent performance improvements, transferring files in mere seconds as compared to hours without aCelera.

For providers using Array APV Series application delivery controllers to provide high-availability for cloud services, the new aCelera WAN1100 may be used to provide accelerated performance to select customers for which limited connectivity may have been impacting the end-user experience.
