This three-day, instructor-led course focuses on installation, configuration, troubleshooting, and operational analysis of the WAN Acceleration (WX) and WAN Acceleration Cache (WXC) platforms. The course covers an overview of WX platform concepts and then moves on to initial installation using Quick Setup. The WebView graphical user interface (GUI) is used to configure and manage the main features of the WX platform: compression (using Molecular Sequence Reduction and Network Sequence Caching), Packet Flow Acceleration (TCP application acceleration), Application Flow Acceleration (which speeds up CIFS, Microsoft Exchange, and HTTP traffic), and implementation of quality-of-service (QoS) policies. In the labs, students configure and test all these features. The WX Framework’s exceptional monitoring and reporting capabilities are featured throughout, and the course ends with an introduction to the WX Central Management System (CMS) software.
