Server-less branch office

While the initial cost savings may be dramatic, creating a server-less branch office can be a big headache for your employees in remote locations due to poor WAN performance from latency (long distance connectivity) to centralized IT services. Additionally, branch offices connecting over the WAN can get bottlenecked by TCP transactions, chatty application protocols, redundant data and repeated requests for the same data. Indeed, server-less branch office or "service-driven data center" initiatives can impede application performance and prevent organizations from providing the level of IT service and support that users have come to expect, and that has enabled organizations to succeed.

As organizations look for new ways to avoid poor performing WAN connectivity and deliver application fast to remote server-less offices, it is critical to ensure that the data center is highly responsive to changing business requirements, while lowering costs and improving service quality levels.

Consolidation of IT infrastructure by creating server-less branch offices can help organizations gain efficiencies, lower overhead and simplify infrastructure complexity - while reducing costs. This allows organizations to provide local services in all their branch offices without the need to deploy, maintain and support servers located within the branch offices. Stampede’s WAN optimization and application acceleration products benefit organizations with server-less branch offices by reducing the hardware and software required at branch offices. Organizations are able to consolidate IT operations, reduce costs, and simplify administration - while delivering critical local services to remote employees.

Stampede WAN optimization and application acceleration products support server-less branch offices

Stampede speeds WAN traffic from the data center to server-less branch offices. We utilize a combination of TCP and application-level acceleration techniques, multiple compression, de-duplication and caching techniques to increase applications performance. Stampede provides multiple client and server offloading capabilities, client and server-side caching, multiple compression and image reduction techniques, and QoS / traffic shaping.

Our FX Series solutions help overcome network congestion and latency, squeezing more traffic into network links to provide the most effective use of the available bandwidth. This allows organizations that are consolidating their data centers to support a greater number of users and deliver more applications, without adding additional bandwidth and server resources.

Stampede provides advanced technologies such as packet fragmentation to reduce the effect of large file transfers for applications such as CIFS and FTP, and real-time traffic (e.g. VoIP, Citrix and Microsoft Terminal Services). Stampede also provides multiple security capabilities to protect organizations and applications from attacks – end-to-end.

The benefits of using Stampede

• Increase WAN bandwidth utilization and application throughput
• Accelerate data replication traffic across the WAN

• Remove the adverse effects of distance that cause latency

• Single-sided solutions (out-bound) accelerate web applications for remote and mobile users by up to 5x

• Two-sided solutions (out-bound and in-bound) accelerate application performance by up to 10x

• Significantly reduce bandwidth utilization by reducing the amount of redundant and uncompressed data sent

• Improve server capacity by offloading compute-intensive tasks

• Enable browsers to open more simultaneous connections between the browser and web application for increased parallel data transfers

• Get the most out of the bandwidth you are already paying for

• Ensure VoIP and thin client applications do not adversely affect remote office bandwidth
