SonicWALL® WAN Acceleration Appliance (WXA) Series reduces application latency and conserves bandwidth, significantly enhancing WAN application performance and improving the end user experience for small- to medium-sized organizations with remote and branch offices. After initial data transfer, the WXA Series dramatically reduces all subsequent traffic by transmitting only new or changed data across the network.
Deployed in conjunction with a SonicWALL E-Class Network Security Appliance (NSA), NSA or TZ Unified Threat Management (NGFW) Firewall and Application Intelligence and Control Service, the WXA offers the unique combined benefit of prioritizing application traffic and minimizing it between sites, resulting in optimal network performance.
Simplified deployment through complete provisioning and configuration by a SonicWALL firewall drastically reduces the complexity of deploying, routing and integrating multiple WXA appliances across the network.
Increased security using SonicWALL Reassembly- Free Deep Packet InspectionTM technology provides an additional layer of security by scanning all traffic and data for threats before sending it to the WAN acceleration appliance.
Protocol optimization provides LAN-like application performance for users accessing resources over the WAN by decreasing the latency and chattiness presented by inefficient protocols or application communication.
Byte caching and file caching reduce bandwidth consumption by orders of magnitude, extending the life of existing WAN links and providing a better user experience.
Reduced total cost of ownership (TCO) arrives through increased efficiency and overall utilization of existing WAN bandwidth, which in turn avoids costly and unnecessary WAN upgrades.
Data compression across the WAN increases performance and reduces latency.
Windows File Sharing (WFS) acceleration helps improve response times while decreasing the amount of data transferred when downloading or accessing files from a shared drive.
Visualization delivers real-time insight into the performance gains obtained by introducing WAN acceleration into the network.
