Results: Changing the Mindset

10-15% of IT infrastructure teams now are referring to themselves as application networking teams—and are increasingly cross-functional.

FY'06 FY'07 20 40 60

Top Tier Analyst Reports on Application Networking Application Networking and Delivery references within press and analyst community has quadrupled in ’07.

“I’ve got the network guys asking me about application delivery. More importantly, they are starting to think like they are application delivery engineers. In all seriousness, I think there’s a sea change afoot.”

The WANJet + SRDF Solution

EMC E-Lab

  • SRDF = EMC Data Center Replication Solution
  • WANJet tested and approved for SRDF data-center to data-

center replication.

  • Tested in varying network conditions (latency, packet loss)
  • Measured BW utilization, host response times, time to complete

replication, etc.

Value Proposition

  • WANJet delivers faster replication
  • 5-10x Improvement based on Customers and Poc’s
  • WANJet uses less bandwidth
  • Up to 90% Less Bandwidth Required

Large Government Agency Use Case

CHALLENGES

1,000+ miles between DC’s. 18 Mb/sec of bandwidth provided, but over 90

Mb/sec needed to run replication

Government not willing to lease more BW. Unable to sustain replication beyond 2 hours. Deal stalled in POC. EMC unable to close.

RESULTS with F5 WANJet

8:1 Optimization/Compression rate achieved SRDF/A replication able to run on 18 Mb/sec link

in production

Avoided need for additional bandwidth EMC closed the sale

Next Steps

Aggressively pursue EMC sales reps and technical consultants

(SE’s)

Technical training, lunch & learns, etc.

F5 Field Training Underway EMC Customer Outreach:

Two large vendors

largely control end- user storage pricing

Consumer switching

costs are high due to proprietary vendor lock-in
