Due to the popularity of the Internet, it is common knowledge that TCP/IP has become a widely used network protocol. More and more company operations are becoming reliant on applications that are developed based on the TCP/IP network. With the development and globalization trend of company operations, companies will set up more remote offices in regions and countries beyond the headquarters. Therefore, the company operation system has to run on the wide area TCP/IP network.
As we know, compared to LAN, WAN bandwidth is only 1/100 or lower; however, the delay is increased by 100 times or more. Applications that run smoothly on LAN will encounter problems like extreme inefficiencies when operated on the WAN, seriously affecting the enterprise production efficiency.
A lot of network vendors are already aware of this problem, and had put forward
many solutions, such as the utilization of compressing technology, traffic management technology and memory buffering technology. All these technologies can only accelerate certain areas of the WAN; however, since it does not engage the core of the TCP/IP, the effectiveness is minimal with maximal limitations.
Since establishing in San Francisco, United States in 2002, Riverbed (www.riverbed.com) has been dedicated to the goal of WAN application acceleration. Utilizing a new exclusive technology, the company has successfully introduced a new-generation WAN application acceleration product, the Steel Head series, which has been well received by the market.
