Data Center Network

Application optimization solution 

Challenges for data center applications 

Server performance and reliability become more and more important with the concentration of corporate applications and data. How can you guarantee the reliability of application servers and flexibly enhance the performances of the application servers according to business needs without affecting the normal progress of businesses? As all applications run on the data center, most users access the applications via WAN or the Internet. How can you ensure the same experience as local applications for the users? Moreover, how can you choose the optimal data center to provide services according to the position of the user where multiple data centers are available? 

Load equalization solution 

Establish a server cluster through deployment of load equalizer with an aim to improve the general performance and reliability of the server and enable flexible scalability. The enterprise can improve the general performance by adding servers to the server cluster. In case of any failure or shutdown for maintenance of any single server, the load equalizer will automatically direct data onto the server in operation so that the businesses will go on as usual. Where multiple data centers are established, the optimal data center access position of the current user can be calculated automatically to optimize the data flows of various data centers by deploying global load equalizer. Please see the following Figure for the load equalization solution:

WAN optimization solution 

Deployment of WAN acceleration equipment can improve the data flows of application. Primary WAN acceleration technologies include TCP optimization, application acceleration and data compression. Please see the following Figure for the WAN optimization solution:

Conclusions: 

Load equalization solution primarily improves the performance and reliability of servers, data centers and other resources. WAN optimization solution primarily improves the performance of access applications of remote users. The combination of both solutions can improve the application experience of users.
