WAN Optimization-as-a-Service Surfaces

As cloud-based services become more prevalent, whether private or public, the provision of an end-to-end software solution for virtualized WAN optimization from the data center, to the branch office and mobile users will be paramount. Management, visibility and monitoring of the WAN and its traffic will be critical here. 

For example, QoS in and out of the cloud; mobile clients for remote cloud users; VDI/SBC support for DaaS (Desktop-as-a-Service) and for the support WOaaS (WAN Optimization-as-a-Service) will all be critical considerations. 

Only a wholly virtual WAN optimization offering will enable the cloud infrastructure, both private and public, to be deployed and managed from any location. This enables organizations to deploy into their hosted cloud offering over the wire as well as allowing managed service organizations to host WAN optimization-as-a-service in its own right or as part of a service they sell when providing their cloud offerings, be it just cloud or managed storage, applications, desktops, etc.
