8.1.1 FX Series Optimization Summary
•
The FX Series is built upon a flexible and secure base of operating system and acceleration
software. Utilizing an architecture that is modularized, The FX Series accelerates the movement
of data, accelerates the processing of that data and ensures a safe and reliable system.
•
The FX Series can be configured and implemented in several ways to accelerate enterprise
application traffic. All implementations start with an appliance, which functions as a "front-end"
processor to web servers. In this initial "one-sided" mode, the appliance processes traffic
between HTTP clients (browsers) and web servers. The FX Series can also be implemented with
optional client-side hardware, FX Series Remote appliance. The client-side appliance provides
many additional optimization features in a “two-sided” mode.
•
With flexible options for in-line or Cisco’s Web Cache Communication Protocol (WCCP) the FX
Series devices deliver unprecedented transparent optimization. End to End assurance is
maintained for all applications providing complete transparency and the ability for existing
Quality of Service (QOS) and network visibility management programs to continue monitoring
the health of your network.
•
Business critical applications requiring 24/7 availability will always perform optimally no matter
how fast your business grows. The Stampede FX Series platforms support deployments in either
N+N or N+ 1 configuration. Simply add additional FX Series devices as needed for increased
scalability or failover protection.
•
Stampede’s FX Series platforms provide a comprehensive range of flexible options for total
transparent 24/7 operation within your existing or growing network infrastructure. No matter
what your application acceleration or WAN optimization requirements are today or in the future,
Stampede’s FX Series platform solutions will handle all your business critical applications with
ease
8.1.2 Single-Sided Optimizations:
GZIP:
Industry standard compression is applied to both static and dynamic HTML and XML content including
attachments.
Image Optimization Transformation:
This reduces image size, while optimizing image quality.
Static Caching:
This returns un-expired static objects and pages directly from cache.
8.1.3 Two-sided Optimizations
TurboStreaming:
Optimization techniques are utilized to overcome inherent TCP inefficiencies. This removes congestion
from WAN links and significantly improves response time for downloading large attachments, even those
considered to be non-compressible.
Content Aware Compression
Dynamic Cache Differencing:
The FX Series ADC appliance and the Remote appliance maintain a copy of browser cache and
send only the difference back to the browser when content is changed.
