Exinda Networks provides a range of fully integrated WAN optimization and application acceleration appliances that boost the performance of applications over the WAN. Exinda’s x800 appliances combine award-winning traffic management technology with advanced optimization and acceleration capabilities for the industry’s most complete solution. Exinda’s x800 product family offers a full range of proven, resilient appliances to meet your application performance goals and budget requirements. The appliances provide extensive network reports as well as the ability to manage network usage, solve congestion issues and prioritize time-sensitive services. Users will benefit from faster, uninterrupted access to applications across town or across the world. Exinda’s acceleration protocol is transparent, allowing for seamless network integration. Transparency means that implementation is simplified by leaving all access control rules and IDS/IPS policies intact.

Exinda’s x800 appliances utilize the following techniques:

TCP Acceleration

Reduces the effects of latency by reducing unnecessary TCP round trips and automatically adapts TCP windows size to ensure WAN links are fully utilized.

CIFS & HTTP Acceleration
Uses specific protocol dialects to fully optimize CIFS & HTTP traffic; prefetching, read ahead and write behind further accelerate CIFS traffic. Exinda is particularly effective at improving CIFS performance for links with more than 30ms latency.

WAN Memory
Eliminates repetitive data leveraging both RAM caching for
interactive applications and disk-based caching for large _les
and high speed links.

Application Monitoring
Applies behavioral application classification (heuristics) for faster classification and advanced detection of encrypted applications (Skype, BitTorrent); long term monitoring and drill down analysis provided in CSV, SQL and PDF formats delivered via scheduled emails or integrated alerting system.

Technology
Application Layer 7 Classification and Monitoring
Signature-based deep packet inspection (DPI) identifies and controls recreational Web applications including peer-to-peer programs such as BitTorrent, Kazaa, Facebook, and MySpace while providing detailed reports on how bandwidth is being used. Classification on the Exinda’s 6720 high speed (ASIC-based) appliance allows wirespeed monitoring at speeds of up to 1Gbps. The appliances track usage and network utilization by application, hosts or conversations and provide extensive reporting via automated PDF and CSV exports and SQL connector.

Application Specific Analysis Modules (ASAM)
Exinda supports detailed classification and analysis of specific applications such as HTTP, VoIP and Citrix. Appliances also monitor voice calls and conversations in real-time.

Application Response Measurement (ARM)
Applications monitor application response times across network and server infrastructure as well as measure and manage user experience across applications.

Adaptive Response (AR)
Appliances set alerts and notifications and run custom scripts based on triggers.
