WAN Optimization
Manager
Faster WAN performance. Improved bandwidth efficiency.
BIG-IP WAN Optimization Manager (WOM) overcomes network and application issues on the WAN to help you meet your application performance, data replication, and disaster recovery requirements. BIG-IP WOM dramatically reduces data replication times, increases bandwidth efficiency, and minimizes latency. You’ll see marked improvement in WAN performance with the optimization technologies and integrated security in BIG-IP WOM.
Meet disaster recovery objectives
Don’t let backup times slow you down. You can meet your disaster recovery objectives without eating up network resources. F5 accelerates data replication over the WAN so you can back up your business-critical data in record time. You’ll see marked improvement with replication of those heavy hitters, including NetApp SnapMirror, Microsoft Exchange 2010 DAG mailboxes, and Oracle databases.
Increase bandwidth efficiency
If you could cut the amount of data transferred over your WAN by up to 99 percent, why wouldn’t you? BIG-IP WOM can help you reduce traffic and increase bandwidth efficiency with intelligent optimizations, including adaptive compression and data deduplication. Don’t buy more bandwidth; invest in efficiency.
Reduce operational expenditures
IT budgets aren’t getting any bigger, but applications are. With BIG-IP WOM, you can expand the capacity and efficiency of your WAN, accommodate increased demand with your existing infrastructure, and avoid unnecessary network upgrades. BIG-IP WOM offloads compression and SSL processing from your servers, reducing server processor utilization by up to 50 percent.
Achieve integrated security
Simplify security management without increasing risk. BIG-IP WOM gives you a single, integrated solution for both WAN optimization and security. It encrypts business-critical data using industry-standard SSL and IPsec protocols. With BIG-IP WOM, you can:
- Free up more server capacity for application delivery.
- Spend less time managing security certificates.
- Consolidate and centralize your SSL key management.
