Deploying Cisco Wide Area Application
Introduction IT organizations are realizing the benefits of infrastructure consolidation and virtualiza- tion—cost savings, operational savings, better posture toward disaster recovery—and the challenges associated. Consolidating infrastructure increases the distance between the remote office worker and the tools they need to ensure productivity—applications, servers, content, and more. Application acceleration and WAN optimization solutions such as Cisco Wide Area Application Services (WAAS) bridge the divide between consol- idation and performance to enable a high-performance consolidated infrastructure. This book is the second edition of Deploying Cisco Wide Area Application Services, and updates the content to reflect the innovations that have been introduced in version 4.1.3 of the Cisco Wide Area Application Services (WAAS) solution, whereas the first edition was written to version 4.0.13. Along with coverage of the key components of the Cisco WAAS solution, this edition expands on the concepts introduced in the first edi- tion to provide a more complete understanding of the solution’s capabilities, how to use them effectively, and how to manage them. This edition expands upon the first edition to include coverage for new solution components including application-specific acceleration techniques, hardware form factors, virtualization, application performance management (APM), monitoring and reporting enhancements, and workflow enhancements. Additional technical reference material is provided in the appendices to help familiarize users of ver- sion 4.0 with changes that have occurred in the command-line interface (CLI) with the introduction of the 4.1 release. A quickstart guide is provided to help users quickly deploy in a lab or production pilot environment in order to quantify the benefits of the solution. A troubleshooting guide can also be found at the end which helps associate dif- ficulties encountered with potential steps for problem resolution. Goals and Methods The goal of this book is to familiarize you with the concepts and fundamentals of sizing and deploying Cisco WAAS in your environment. The book provides a technical intro- duction to the product, followed by deployment sizing guidelines, through integration techniques, and configuration of major components and subsystems. The intent of the book is to provide you with the knowledge that you need to ensure a successful deploy- ment of Cisco WAAS in your environment, including configuration tips, pointers, and notes that will guide you through the process. Who Should Read This Book? This book is written for anyone who is responsible for the design and deployment of Cisco WAAS in their network environment. The text assumes the reader has a basic knowledge of data networking, specifically TCP/IP and basic routing and switching technologies. As the WAAS technology continues to evolve, the content in this book will provide a solid framework to build on. Mastering the topics in this book will ensure that you can approach any WAAS design project with confidence. xx Deployin
