Quality of Service Solutions
Achieve true QoS by ensuring availability, effectively managing resources and prioritizing applications across the WAN.
Achieving true QoS is challenging. QoS is impacted at every point on the network—from client PC to LAN to telecom carrier to the servers that process the transaction. However, not all segments are created equally.

Is MPLS enough?
MPLS helps QoS, but not nearly enough.
MPLS does not:
- Manage LAN-WAN congestion
- Control competing inbound traffic
- Possess application intelligence
- Avoid reactive queuing mechanisms that degrade performance

Load Balancing Solutions
To maximize application availability, our load balancing solution product family uses best-in-class Layer 4 load balancing and Layer 7 application switching algorithms coupled with highly available system software and hardware. This provides a state-of-the-art failover system with an extensive set of application health probes that help ensure that traffic is directed to the most available server.
To ensure data center availability, the same technology can be used for delivering failover of systems to cover both intra-data center recovery and disaster recovery across multiple data centers. Deploying these solutions can help organizations achieve the best RTO (Recovery Time Objectives) and better RPO (Recovery Point Objectives).

Acceleration Solutions
Cisco Wide Area Application Services (WAAS) is a powerful application acceleration and WAN optimization solution for the branch office that improves the performance of any TCP-based application operating in a WAN environment. With Cisco WAAS, IT organizations can consolidate costly branch-office servers and storage into centrally managed data centers, and deploy new applications directly from a data center, while offering LAN-like application performance for branch office and mobile users.
