The Wide Area Network (WAN) Optimization market has evolved signi- cantly over the past decade. Whereas once it focused exclusively on improving visibility into the WAN and shaping trafc, today it serves a much broader purpose — overcoming bandwidth, latency, and loss challenges to enhance the performance of all IP applications and control IT costs.

THE WEAK LINK IN DATA PROTECTION All too often, the Wide Area Network (WAN) link is the weak link in data protection. Limited bandwidth, high latency, lost packets, and out-of-order packets can all jeopardize strategic data replication and backup initiatives, resulting in missed Recovery Point Objectives and Recovery Time Objectives (RPO/RTO). As data volumes grow,
