WXC Application Acceleration Platforms to Optimize WAN Links

"The WXC platforms are business enablers," said Cowan Pettigrew, Sublime’s chief executive officer. Juniper Networks has announced that Sublime, a New Zealand-based document management agency, has deployed Juniper Networks WXC application acceleration platforms to optimize WAN links between its Auckland headquarters and its data center in Fiji. Sublime manages documents for businesses ranging from law firms to medical and trading companies that have large volumes of physical paperwork to process and store.

"We use them to leverage the cost efficiencies of a data center in Fiji without compromising traffic performance or network security. In fact, thanks to the Juniper solution, we have faster and secure overseas WAN connectivity", said Pettigrew.

"We streamline inefficient workflows," said Pettigrew. According to him, manual handling of paper is costly in time and effort and also prone to human error. To provide service to clients at a reasonable rate, the company has minimized costs by building a data center in Fiji, which has a lower cost of business. The WXC application acceleration platforms help make this model viable by cutting data transmission costs and data receipt times.

The Juniper Networks WXC platforms provide distributed enterprises with a scalable approach to accelerating application delivery over the WAN. Based on the integrated WX Framework, which delivers all the elements needed to accelerate applications and optimise WAN performance, the WXC platforms help businesses improve application response times, maximise WAN investments, and control and prioritise key applications.

Sublime’s WXC platform uses the Network Sequence Caching feature to eliminate repetitive data sequences, dramatically reducing WAN traffic volumes and speeding the transfer of large files over wide area links. The WXC platform’s built-in hard drive supplies the storage capacity needed to store long data sequences for long periods of time, enabling up to 100-fold increases in WAN capacity. The WXC platforms also constantly communicate, exchanging vital information such as topology, accessibility, and path-performance metrics to ensure the most efficient performance possible.
