Application Acceleration for Mobile Employees

The Cisco Wide Area Application Services (WAAS) Mobile extends the Cisco WAAS application acceleration benefits to mobile employees. The solution is purpose-built to offer the industry's widest range of protocol-specific application acceleration benefits for:

• Microsoft Outlook Messaging API (MAPI)
• IBM Lotus Notes
• Common Internet file system (CIFS) acceleration
• Web-based (HTTP) applications for intranet and Internet applications
• Secured web-based (HTTPS) applications for secure intranet applications

Unlike alternatives that are imported from Linux-based branch office WAN optimization devices requiring significant CPU, memory, and disk resources, Cisco WAAS Mobile is purpose-built from the start for Windows-based PCs. This translates to the following unique advantages:

• Smallest PC footprint: Up to 40 percent smaller footprint, and fewer computing resources required
• Lowest total cost of ownership (TCO): Extensive centralized management capabilities and proven interoperability within Windows PC environments
• Ease of deployment: Up and running in 30 minutes
