Array Networks Announces Redesigned Architecture for WAN Optimization Controllers

Array Networks Inc. announced the release of the WAN Series WAN optimization controllers featuring a completely redesigned architecture. Formerly called a Celera, the WAN Series now offers IT, managers, a robust, intuitive and easy-to-manage solution to speed data transfers and reduce application response times over wide area networks.

The WAN Series utilizes stream-based differencing, application blueprints, single instance store, traffic prioritization and network, application and TCP optimizations to mitigate the effects of limited bandwidth, high latency, packet loss and network congestion. Through Array WAN optimization controllers, enterprises and other organizations can achieve LAN-like performance for remote and branch offices and meet data backup and replication goals.

Available as physical or virtual appliances, and for popular cloud platforms, the WAN Series improves application response times by up to 50X while reducing bandwidth utilization by up to 95 percent. The newly redesigned architecture adds a number of key enhancements, including:

In addition, the WAN Series CMS (Central Management System) has been updated to provide central management functions from a single WebUI window for thousands of remote WAN optimization devices with zero touch deployment, configuration, and monitoring.
