(Source: Ipanema Technologies)  This paper looks at the three key reasons why some applications do not perform well over the WAN. It then describes a list of pitfalls and tips that any network manager should be aware of when designing a WAN acceleration strategy. Finally, it describes how Ipanema is tackling the application performance challenge with an integrated approach covering optimization, acceleration and visibility.
