Using Cisco WAAS for File and Print Server Consolidation
Overview Enterprises face significant cost, management, and security challenges as they attempt to scale file servers and storage capacity at each of an increasing number of branch sites. In addition, requirements for protecting data generated in branch offices are growing stricter because of regulatory compliance mandates. These factors have the potential to inflate an enterprise's branch office total cost of ownership, if each branch requires file servers, server software, and the management complexity associated with distributed data protection, recovery, and business continuance. To ensure that this topology does not affect local user response times in each branch, Cisco WAAS overcomes WAN latency and bandwidth limitations by applying protocol- and network-specific optimizations to maintain application responsiveness while minimizing WAN utilization.
