How Enterprise Caching Works
Monitors all traffic and identifies repeat
bitpatterns works for all data types
Cache
Cache
Works on all enterprise applications, because it
works on the data itself (bits bytes)

Expand Accelerators

• Vertical Data Analysis (VDA)
• Automatically divides the packet into its various
  header and data components
• Highly efficient reduction in size of header
  style data
• Adaptive Packet Compression (APC)
• Applied to Data that is not cached or treated by
  VDA
• Superior to legacy compression algorithms
• Enterprise Caching
• Greatest performance benefit of Enterprise
  Caching
• Data that is repeatedly accessed is cached
• Dramatic reduction in size of data packet
• Token containing reference to the cached data is
  sent

Expand and Citrix
By providing the ability to remotely cache
frequently requested network packets, Enterprise
Caching enhances the scalability of the Citrix
MetaFrame application delivery and management
platform in a WAN environment This new
caching technique is capable of providing up to a
300 percent increase in the number of remote
users that can be supported when the WAN is the
performance bottleneck

  environments
• Acceleration in a VPN environment is done in two
  stages
• Accelerators will encapsulate the accelerated
  data into an Expand IP Tunnel
• The VPN will further add IPSec encapsulation
• No VPN specific configuration is required
