Server acceleration module

Server acceleration module is an application based on modern IT technologies designed to help manage your IT teams through transitinal journey, including everything from planning to publishing on cloud services. Set your teams up for a successful migration using the best practices, advice, documentation and tools that the leading cloud providers recommend for helping in every phase that leads to cloud services.

Applications are at the heart of today’s digital culture. In order to cut costs and reach a higher level of agility and efficiency when deploying new apps or updating existing services, many companies are switching to cloud-based strategies. The rate at which companies are turning to cloud-based solutions emphasises it’s critical importance. Since 2018 onwards, 96% of companies use cloud-based services in some form or another, while 99% of managers consider cloud-based services to be of vital importance for their current digital strategies.

The combination of digital transformation and recent global events has led to unprecedented complexity of applications, networks, endpoints and workspaces. Data centres and branches are not the center of the IT universe any longer. Today’s digital landscape has spread to multi-cloud, hybrid networks and working from anywhere in the globe as well as a nearly endless stream of new business-related applications and workload done by the cloud being used by consumers world-wide. With complexity comes a growing concern for IT agility, application performance and cost efficiency.

And as much as the cloud-based infrastructure seems valuable, companies can’t afford long downtime when migrating massive workloads from local storage to the cloud and are always looking for ways to shorten these deadlines.

 

The solution

Server acceleration module advances network optimisation and is based on licenced software and serves the purpose of speeding up the application upload process to IaaS clouds.

With support for Microsoft Azure, AWS and OCI, this solution is especially suitable for migrating to the cloud by eliminating network inhibitors specific to today’s data-rich workspaces and distributed systems as well as drastically enhancing accessibility and reliability for any workload from any location, including:

Internal applications: Data center/inhouse applications, collaborative platforms, email, SharePoint

Business mission-critical applications: Replication to several locations, disaster recovery.

Media: Video streaming services

Multi-layered storage: production data on premises, data backups to the public cloud, web-based applications such as internal e-business, applications that are on the internet.

In order for companies to increase flexibility and maximise cost-efficiency of public clouds, they need to decrease the latency and overcome bandwidth limitations imposed by distance and the unreliability of last-mile networks. Using the solution of this application, IT teams have the agility to keep the pace for business demands for new cloud-based services, while overcoming all the inherent performance limitations. In a cloud migration scenario, virtual factor in the form of licenced software is applied from the client’s end in relation to the provider of the services rendered. Once it runs with the help of an on-premise agent, data and application migrations are much faster.

Once the migration is done, the traffic caused by application data hosted as IaaS accessed through the public internet or MPLS network is reduced drastically, the effect of perceived performance or better said reduced latency affects the percieved experience for the end user. Users can expect that data transfer rates can be up to 33 times faster, and bandwith footprint reduced by 99 percent. These capabilities can be extended to mobile users as well, eliminating the need to face the unpredictability of last-mile networks, providing users a fast and secure way to access applications from wherever they might need it.

With the cloud and the digital culture, we have more options than ever before to apply better internal architectures for companies, however the amount of data being accessed through ever more complex, hybrid networks as well as the distributed nature of the workforce make the applications being used unreliable and more complex. Server acceleration module removes performance obstacles for implementing public cloud infrastructure at the company level by combining the leading WAN optimisation technologies coupled with a purpose-built cloud management portal.

Data convergence

  • Uses patented, scalable technologies for data referencing in order to reduce the bandwidth used by 99 percent
  • Gives users the industry leading scalability and patented deduplication
  • Works on applications and protocols based on TCP, including data sharing (SMB), web apps (HTTP and HTTPS), database software (Oracle) as well as collaboration tools (CAD, SharePoint, email)
  • Works with data transfer apps based on UDP, including Signiant, Aspera and Symantec’s Veritas Volume Replicator

Application rationalization

  • Offers the widest possible support for modules specific to this application in order to provide performance enhancements besides data optimisation, as well as simplifying TCP packet traffic
  • Reduces verbosity of protocols for application by up to 98%
  • Minimizes application overhead to ensure large improvements in data throughput for applications used, data/file sharing (SMB2/3 and NFS), collaboration software (SharePoint), email (Exchange and IBM Lotus Notes), SaaS cloud-based offers (Office365 and Salesforce), web apps (HTTP and HTTPS), databases (Oracle), data storage and disaster recovery (NetApp SnapMirror and EMC SRDF/A)

Transport rationalization

  • Reduces the number of TCP packets needed for data transfer by 65-98 percent
  • Enables faster SSL-encrypted traffic in order to eliminate making compromises between performance and security
  • Enhances the user experience for end users and reduces traffic by implementing a built-in transparent HTTP proxy
  • GD for checking the data accuracy supports the optimisation via satellite TCP connections (SCPS extention-based) that have a tendency to be high-latency, dynamic bandwidth or packet loss due to signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)

Managability

  • Web-based portal that is hosted and maintained by the customer
  • Cloud portal enables organizations to connect to their cloud vendors
  • Simplifies applying, management, licencing and enables momentary upgrades

Flexibility

  • Enables fast and reliable workload spending for applications within Azure, AWS or OCI cloud platforms or any others with any location needed as an endpoint: data center, branch, alternative cloud or mobile client
