Deploying Cisco Wide Area Application Services (Hardcover)

Design and deploy Cisco WAN optimization and application acceleration solutions for the enterprise WAN

Today, IT organizations are increasingly squeezed by competing demands. They must support more distributed users who demand greater availability and performance. They must protect their digital assets with far more robust security. And they must do it all while gaining far greater control over cost. Distributing IT resources increases management, hardware, and software overhead, but centralizing IT can worsen application performance. There is a solution to this quandary: Cisco application acceleration and WAN optimization technologies that permit IT to safely centralize distributed IT resources, meeting user performance expectations without replacing existing network infrastructure.

Deploying Cisco Wide Area Application Services is the first comprehensive guide to designing and deploying solutions with these Cisco technologies. Zach Seils and Joel Christner show how to deploy Cisco WAAS in a scalable, transparent, and seamless fashion that responds to both your business and technical challenges. Writing for network design and implementation engineers and other networking professionals, they cover the entire planning and configuration process. Drawing on their extensive experience implementing WAAS in the enterprise, they also offer real-world implementation examples and case studies–including full chapters on network, branch office, and data center integration.

Zach Seils, CCIE No. 7861, is a technical leader in the Cisco Advanced Services Data Center Networking Practice, where he specializes in designing, deploying, and troubleshooting application acceleration solutions for the largest Cisco enterprise and service provider customers.

Joel Christner, CCIE No. 15311, is director of product management for Reconnex Corporation, the industry leader in data loss prevention (DLP) solutions. Prior to Reconnex, Joel was senior manager of technical marketing for the Application Delivery Business Unit (ADBU) at Cisco, where he helped drive the product and technical strategy for Cisco Wide Area Application Services. Christner is coauthor of Application Acceleration and WAN Optimization Fundamentals.

• Centrally provision applications to employees in any location without compromising performance
• Reduce costs by centralizing servers, storage, and applications by leveraging optimization capabilities that integrate cleanly with your existing infrastructure
• Thoroughly understand Cisco Wide Area Application Services (WAAS) and Wide Area Application Engine (WAE) and the business benefits provided by them

- -       Perform effective WAAS planning, discovery, and analysis

- -         Use WAAS and interception mechanisms such as WCCP or inline to transparently optimize flows traversing your network for end users accessing centrally deployed and centrally  managed applications, files, and other information

- -         Integrate application acceleration and optimization into data centers, branch offices, and other environments

- -         Learn how to use the Cisco WAAS Central Manager, WAE device GUI, and command-line interface to configure, manage, and troubleshoot

設計並部署Cisco廣域網路優化和應用加速解決方案，以滿足企業廣域網路的需求。

如今，IT組織面臨著越來越多的競爭性需求。他們必須支持更多分散的用戶，這些用戶要求更高的可用性和性能。他們必須通過更強大的安全性來保護他們的數字資產。而且他們必須在獲得更大成本控制的同時完成所有這些。分散IT資源會增加管理、硬體和軟體開銷，但集中IT可能會惡化應用性能。有一個解決方案可以解決這個困境：Cisco應用加速和廣域網路優化技術，可以讓IT安全地集中分散的IT資源，滿足用戶對性能的期望，而無需更換現有的網路基礎設施。

《部署Cisco廣域應用服務》是第一本全面指南，介紹如何使用這些Cisco技術設計和部署解決方案。Zach Seils和Joel Christner展示了如何以可擴展、透明和無縫的方式部署Cisco WAAS，以應對您的業務和技術挑戰。他們為網路設計和實施工程師以及其他網路專業人士撰寫，涵蓋了整個規劃和配置過程。他們根據在企業中實施WAAS的豐富經驗，還提供了實際的實施示例和案例研究，包括關於網路、分支辦公室和數據中心集成的完整章節。

Zach Seils，CCIE No. 7861，是Cisco高級服務數據中心網路實踐的技術領導者，他專注於為最大的Cisco企業和服務提供商客戶設計、部署和疑難排解應用加速解決方案。

Joel Christner，CCIE No. 15311，是Reconnex Corporation的產品管理總監，該公司是數據損失防護（DLP）解決方案的行業領導者。在加入Reconnex之前，Joel曾擔任Cisco應用交付業務部門（ADBU）的技術營銷高級經理，他在該職位上幫助推動Cisco廣域應用服務的產品和技術戰略。Christner是《應用加速和廣域網路優化基礎知識》的合著者。
