WAN Optimization Controllers Market Scope
A WAN Optimization Controller (WOC) is a device that can be installed in-line or out of-path to minimize and optimize data transmission over a LAN, MAN, or WAN. WAN optimization, also known as WAN acceleration, refers to a collection of technologies and techniques for improving the efficiency of data flow through a wide area network (WAN) between a company's centralized data centers and remote offices. By overcoming network latency, reducing packet loss, and mitigating capacity limitations, the aim of optimization in an enterprise WAN is to increase the pace at which end users can access business-critical applications and information. WAN optimization is an integral aspect of network management because it helps you to optimize traffic and ensure a certain amount of bandwidth for the most critical applications. Traffic shaping, the elimination of redundant data, data compression, data caching, and the streamlining of data protocols are some of the basic technologies used in WAN optimization.
