High PerformanceApplication Delivery • Great user experience • Every application • Every location Jan-Willem Keinke Sr. Sales Consultant
WAN Application Delivery is HOT! • Enterprises are more reliant on the WAN • Real Time Transactions • Collaboration • Data, Voice, Video Convergence • Server and Storage Consolidation • WAN is not delivering… • $1.2 Billion Market • Includes Visibility, QoS, Optimization, WAFS • Packeteer is the Market Leader - #1 Gartner, #1 IDC • 10+ years leadership • Sales partners in 100+ countries
Application Delivery & The New Packeteer End User Presentation
Goal: Effectively Deliver Applications Across the WAN Voice & video Convergence SAP, Oracle, Financial Transactions Real Time Transactions Files, email & content Collaboration Storage, backup, replication, network services Server & Storage Consolidation
Reality: Networks Can’t Deliver Convergence • Critical applications fail to perform • Complaints from end users • Increased bandwidth demand & costs • Complex, distributed IT systems Real Time Transactions Collaboration Server & Storage Consolidation
200+ Applications on Average Enterprise WAN Business Transactions – small % Different issues impact different applications Today’s NetworksA Broad Set of Applications & Issues
Today’s NetworksA Broad Set of Applications & Issues Common Problems Jitter & loss driven by congestion (in COS and out) Convergence Crowded out by ‘bursty’ collaborative apps & congestion Real Time Transactions Chatty protocols (CIFS) & bulk traffic burdens WAN Collaboration Centralized delivery burdens WAN, slows performance Server & Storage Consolidation Aggressive applications create congestion Recreational Applications Storms that bring down network – availability problems Malicious Traffic
What Do You Need to Deliver? F ERP& CRM FinancialTransactions FileAccess & Collaboration Voice Server Consolidation Video
Symptoms Poor call quality Slow video setup & freeze frames No tools to track quality Issues Congestion – other applications interfere Oversubscription – too many calls in a class of service Capacity – more traffic Convergence: Voice & Video Intelligent QOS Compression • Intelligence • Identification – each call • QOS Policy: Per call • QOS Policy: Contain disruptive applications, minimize disruption • Compression: RTP algorithms • Quality monitoring: voice & video
Symptoms Outages or slow performance Transactions don’t complete Unavailable at key times - breakdown Issues Congestion – other applications interfere Capacity – increased users Transactional Traffic: SAP, Oracle, ERP, Financial Transactions Intelligent QOS Compression Acceleration (for long latencies) • Intelligence • Identify: key sub-application processes (Citrix real time vs. print) • QOS Policy: protect key transactions • QOS Policy: Contain disruptive applications
Symptoms Slow file access Increased WAN Bandwidth demand File versioning & integrity problems Disruption of transaction traffic (ERP) Issues Latency & protocol design (CIFS/NFS) Bulk applications Centralization of services Collaboration & Server Consolidation Acceleration (CIFS/NFS) Bulk Caching • Intelligence • Identification: separate file traffic from transactions • File services: offline access, versioning, read/write mgt. • QOS Policy: Protect transactions • Virtual service delivery: File, Print, SMS, DNS/DHCP, Domain
Packeteer Value: Server Consolidation 122 seconds CIFS File Open 5MB Word File 11 seconds – First Hit (cold cache) 3 seconds – Warm cache (includes ‘current version’ check) 192 seconds CIFS File Save 6.7 MB CAD File 6 seconds • Fix the Pain: • Fast File Access Fast - up to 300x improvement • Increased WAN Capacity up to 100x – file differencing, byte caching • Fully synchronized storage – available locally, controlled centrally • Broaden the Value • Optimize all bulk applications – FTP, HTTP, SharePoint • Delivery Local Network Services: Print, DNS/DHCP, MSFT SMS • Increase WAN capacity for all applications
Symptoms Large jobs can’t complete in time Big pipes are underutilized Issues Big jobs that have to be done: Storage & DB Mirror, Backup, Replication Latency & protocol design (TCP) Scale: data center connects are big links Disaster Recovery & Storage Mirroring Acceleration (TCP) Compression • Intelligence • Identify: Big job applications & separate from transactions • Accelerate: Just the big jobs • QOS Policy: Protect transactions
Additional Issues in Application DeliveryRecreational & Malicious Traffic Convergence Real Time Transactions Collaboration Server & Storage Consolidation iTunes, YouTube, P2P, Instant Messenger, Rich Media Recreational Applications Worms, Virus, Broadcast Storms, DDOS Malicious Traffic
Symptoms Performance degradation of all business applications Severe availability issues Issues Recreational traffic crowds out transaction & voice traffic Recreational Traffic: iTunes, YouTube, Streaming, Surfing QOS Policy • Intelligence • Identify: catch applications that evade (port hopping, encryption) • QOS Policy: Contain or block • Allow: usage without disruption of key applications
Symptoms Severe application availability problems Network disruptions & floods Issues Virus & worm propagation from inside network DDOS attacks Malicious Traffic: Virus, Worms & Malicious Attacks QOS Policy • Intelligence • Identify: attacks as they happen • Isolate: infected hosts & rogue servers • Policy: protect key applications • Quarantine: problem hosts & apps
