Remote Office users want high-performance access to corporate data, but corporate IT wants to cut costs and needs to control and protect critical data
•Storage Problems−Site consolidation of servers and storage−Need to connect islands of storage−Remote site backup
•Application Problems−Web, Email, FTP, Notes, ERP, Database, etc. applications
experience slow response times, and so are not often used – too slow
•Networking Problems−Need “More Bandwidth” −Latency kills throughput
Remote Office Problems are Converging

HP StorageWorks (EFS) WAN AcceleratorsLAN-like application performance over the WAN
HP StorageWorks Enterprise File Services (EFS) WAN Accelerators help customers put information to work by removing repetitive traffic and dramatically reducing latency effects on wide-area networks (WANs), delivering LAN-like performance for file, e-mail, web, and other TCP-based applications and protocols. Unlike WAN optimization products that focus solely on improving WAN bandwidth or on locally caching protocol-specific traffic, EFS WAN Accelerators deliver not only the industry’s highest bandwidth optimization for all TCP traffic, but work also address the effects of high latency on TCP and the applications that run on TCP. The IT appliances enable consolidation of distributed IT infrastructure from remote sites, resulting in savings by reducing equipment, IT staff needed, and the complexity of a global network.

What they do today?
How EFS WAN Accelerators solve the problem & add business value
Why now with HP?
Differentiators…
Remote location IT consolidation
• Put off consolidation to continue to provide high performance access to remote users
• Consolidate to the datacenter, only to leave remote users with painfully slow application performance over the WAN
• Address performance issues affecting WANs by removing repetitive traffic and dramatically reducing latency, delivering LAN-like performance file, e-mail, web, and other TCP-based applications.
• Enable customers to consolidate file and application servers from remote offices to the datacenter while preserving high-performance access for remote users
• EFS WAN Accelerators reduce WAN traffic for all applications running on TCP and combine three types of WAN optimization into one product while other products available in the marketplace typically address only one or two types of optimization or only one type of traffic
Remote office backup
• Depend on untrained personnel to manage remote office backup and tape rotations
• Lose tapes (and important customer data!) in transit between sites
• IT consolidation: file servers • High-performance, two-way access to
storage over the WAN means faster file transfers and no bottlenecks--remote data can be quickly copied across the WAN to the datacenter, and then go to tape there.
• Transparent support for backup software like HP Data Protector natively.
• Preservation of client-server relationship mean no worries about remote/local data coherency
Inefficient WAN link usage
• Pay for expensive WAN bandwidth upgrades because of user complaints
• Utilize only a fraction of available bandwidth on fat (>100Mbps) connections
• Eliminate the need for costly WAN upgrades by removing repetitive traffic from the WAN thereby increasing capacity of low bandwidth links.
• Affect TCP flow control to increase utilization of high bandwidth/high latency links
• Combine technologies to address bandwidth and throughput shortcomings for both low-bandwidth and high-bandwidth/high-latency WAN links.Position EFS WAN Accelerators as a way to virtually extend the datacenter LAN to remote sites
