However, while deploying the cloud, organizations need to look at server virtualization and virtual WAN optimization as a solution.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Probably you will ask the most usual question about WAN optimization in Cloud \u2013 <\/strong><\/p>\r\n<h3><strong>How could it be beneficial for my business?<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The main challenges for any large organization in the cloud are Connectivity (Bandwidth), Application Deployment, Replication, Migration, Disaster Recovery, Cloud Access, and Cloud Storage.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>So before the evolution of WAN optimization in the cloud, it is really difficult for enterprises to maintain applications performance and productivity.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Now we are going to take a look on the evolution of WAN connectivity:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Internet IP VPN<\/strong>: Quite unreliable but good for routing. However, lower application performance and tighten productivity are awful.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Point-to-Point Private Lines or in short IPLC (International Private Leased Circuit)<\/strong>: It allows the organizations to communicate between their offices in different countries. But this is a really expensive solution and even organizations may need to deal with each carrier in each country to order circuits, which includes separate invoices.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>MPLS and WAN Optimization appliances<\/strong>: Multi-Protocol Label Switching System, which gives network operators a great deal of flexibility to turn and route traffic around link failures, congestion, and bottlenecks. But this is an expensive, and complex solution with fixed capacity.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>So how could we deliver fast application performance by reducing complexity and cost?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The answer is cloud-based WAN optimization which will give you the ability to handle Global Network easily, plus you can accelerate applications performance. In addition, cloud-based WAN optimization not only increases visibility and security but also enhances redundancy and elasticity at half of the cost.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4><strong>Key Features of Cloud-Based WAN Optimization<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>It replaces the expensive MPLS network<\/li>\r\n<li>No need to purchase and maintain WAN optimization appliances<\/li>\r\n<li>Well-balanced and Redundant core network<\/li>\r\n<li>Application and Protocol tuning \/acceleration, such as transport protocol (TCP), CIFS, HTTP, FTP<\/li>\r\n<li>Quality of service (VoIP, andVideo)<\/li>\r\n<li>Easy to access Cloud Services<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To build the next-generation cloud infrastructure it is essential for you to optimize the wide area network (WAN).
