Five Ugly Truths about WAFS and Caching: Why caching can't meet the enterprise application acceleration challenge
Overview
Wide Area File Systems (WAFS) and caching are two approaches used to accelerate specific applications over WANs. They sound good in theory -- "saving bandwidth and making files go faster over the WAN" -- but did you know there are serious limitations in the architecture of these approaches?
This white paper gives you the real story on why WAFS and caching aren't the best approaches available for application acceleration. Download this white paper now to learn how you can make your applications rocket across the WAN.
