As distance between locations increases across the WAN, application performance degrades. Aruba Boost, an optional WAN optimization software pack, accelerates the performance of latency-sensitive and data-intensive applications.
The product’s most valuable features for optimizing web efficiency include fingerprinting and DCP Acceleration.
They could provide a unified management platform for their entire Secure Edge Services (SES) portfolio. In the next release, they could address limitations related to encrypted traffic. Currently, we encounter challenges in terms of the functioning of compression, deduplication, and other features even after uploading the certificate for encrypted traffic.
We have been using Aruba Boost Unified WAN Optimization for seven years.
I rate the platform’s stability a nine out of ten.
There are a few limitations related to hardware and virtual aspects. I rate the scalability a seven out of ten.
The technical support team has a good response time. However, the support quality needs improvement.
Positive
The product is easy to deploy. It takes a few hours to complete the configuration.
The product has flexible pricing models.
The platform’s features for latency mitigation help optimize user experience. There are multiple techniques one could follow to enhance the application's performance.
To optimize cloud connectivity, they provide strategies such as local internet breakout. In the context of cloud services, particularly Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and Software as a Service (SaaS) applications, deploying virtual appliances contributes to reducing costs associated with express route links. This approach enhances web optimization.
The traffic shaping features play a crucial role in optimizing web operations and enhancing WAN efficiency. It can be integrated with most of the applications.
I rate it a nine out of ten.
