Title: Open Source WAN Optimization Solutions Comparable to Proprietary Systems
1Open Source WAN Optimization Solutions Comparable
to Proprietary Systems
Proprietary WAN optimization solutions from
industry leaders are expensive to buy and
maintain. To their credit they do have unique
features and make use of technologies such as
CIFS and NFS data caching. Other techniques
include compression, data deduplication, reduced
latency, QOS and coalescing packets of data to
conserve bandwidth.

2Wan optimization is a must when a user, whether
it is a small company or an enterprise with
global operations, must have operational
efficiencies at reduced cost. Though some tools
such as wide area file services used to cache
data may not be available in open source, there
are other options available that provide
solutions comparable to proprietary, high priced
systems.
3The very fact that it is open sources does not
mean the technologies are any less competent or
capable of handling a range of tasks. In fact,
open source has a huge community of developers
and they offer virtually any solution for any
requirement. Open Source Wan optimization by
Wanos Networks is no less efficient or capable
than solutions from global leaders. The approach
is different end results are the same. However,
the cost of such open sourced based Wan
optimization is far less than what one would pay
for branded solutions and performance is more or
less similar. This is achieved through a variety
of techniques.
4One way developers achieve the goal is to use
Linux to prioritize traffic on the WAN link
through quality of service and packet queuing.
HTTP proxy caching is another method that
optimizes WAN and Squid or Varnish open source
proxy servers cache large sized files locally
speeding up the process and saving bandwidth in
the process. Open source also allows traffic
coalescing or squeezing multiple packets into one
and this contributes to faster transmission of
data.
