Why So Slow? Take the Quiz
Your Network 45Mbps yeah, thats big 100ms
yeah, thats fast
Question You copy a 4MB PPT File. How long will
it take?
ACK!
ACK!
Hint CIFS is a WAN worst-offender. It sends data
in 4KB chunks, then waits for an acknowledgement.
A) 0.7 seconds. 45Mbps 5.625MBps so 4 / 5.625
0.7111
B) 200 seconds. 4MB 1000 x 4KB chunks 1000
trips there 1000 trips back 2000 trips x 0.1 sec

MACH5 Techniques Work Together

• Object Caching
• Caches repeated, static app-level data reduces
  BW and latency

• Byte Caching
• Caches any TCP application using similar/changed
  data reduces BW

• Compression
• Reduces amount of data transmitted saves BW

• Bandwidth Management
• Prioritize, limit, allocate, assign DiffServ by
  user or application

• Protocol Optimization
• Remove inefficiencies, reduce latency

MACH5 Accelerates Applications
MACH5 Optimizes More Protocol Types, Removes More
Latency and Saves More Bandwidth than Other
Solutions
