• HP EFS WAN Accelerator models DL320-520, DL320-1020, and DL320-2020 replace models DL320-510, DL320-1010, and DL320-2010
  
  • Now based on HP ProLiant DL320G4 servers
    
  • Greater optimized bandwidth and TCP connection support
    
  • DL320-520 now supports Proxy File Service (PFS)
    
• HP EFS WAN Accelerator Manager model DL320-M25 now based on the ProLiant DL320G4 server

• HP EFS WAN Accelerators deliver the highest available performance for any TCP-based application on wide area networks using a variety of technologies:
  • Scalable Data Referencing (SDR): Works across all TCP applications including Microsoft Office, Lotus Notes, CIFS, NFS, CAD, ERP, FTP, HTTP and more to ensure that the same data is never sent more than once over the WAN. Reduces bandwidth consumption for some applications to less than 1% of previous levels.
    
  • Virtual Window Expansion: Allows applications to overcome TCP windowing limitations that affect long-distance WAN connections.
    
  • Transparent Pre-Population: Data stores can be automatically and transparently pre-populated with newly-generated data so that users experience immediate performance benefits.
    
  • Application-specific Optimizations: Reduces the impact of WAN latencies for a variety of chatty applications including Windows file sharing (CIFS), Microsoft Exchange (MAPI), Web (HTTP), Database (MS-SQL), FTP, backup, and replication, providing an additional order-of-magnitude throughput improvement.
    
  • Bi-Directional Operation: TCP traffic is optimized in both directions--to and from remote offices and data centers.
    
  • Permanent Disk-Based Store: HP EFS WAN Accelerators store between 80GB and 512GB of byte-level data on each appliance, providing a significant data store from which data commonalities can be leveraged.
    
  • High-Speed TCP (HS-TCP) {DL380-5010 only}: For high bandwidth / high latency WAN links, native TCP flow control makes 'filling the pipe' difficult, leaving much of the often expensive WAN bandwidth unused. HS-TCP helps utilize more of that bandwidth, and supports up to 750 Mbps per connection for blazing fast data replication and backup.
    
  • Proxy File Service (PFS) - PFS enables remote office workers local access to files even when the WAN link to the office goes down. PFS also enables remote office file shares to be replicated automatically to the data center, ensuring reliable backup.
    
  • Policy and Security - Support for rules-based policy administration of optimization classes and packet marking for QoS and route control. Also supports packet filtering, optional IPsec encryption, and RADIUS/TACACS+ authentication.

• Can be easily integrated into any enterprise network as in-path (between the local switch and WAN router), logically in-path (using policy-based routing or other traffic re-routing protocol), or out-of-path.

• In the event of hardware, software or power failure, HP EFS WAN Accelerators utilize one of three NICs that effectively fails through to wire. In that event, clients still have access to remote servers, albeit at the native WAN performance.

• HP EFS WAN Accelerators are based on HP ProLiant DL320G3 and DL380G4 server hardware, ensuring seamless integration into established ProLiant environments, and including support for HP Systems Insight Manager and Integrated Lights-out (iLO) features.

• DL380-based models feature redundant disks and dual power supplies for higher reliability.
• Can be deployed in a variety of high-availability clustered (active/passive or active/standby) configurations

• Can be installed quickly and easily in most enterprise networks.
• Transparent to existing servers and clients-absolutely preserves the client-server relationship, unlike caching solutions.

• HP EFS WAN Accelerators include a CLI and GUI-based management system
• The optional HP EFS WAN Accelerator Manager is a turnkey solution for centrally managing up to 500 EFS WAN Accelerators distributed across a wide area network (WAN). It simplifies the process of deploying, configuring, and managing WAN Accelerator deployments.
  • 'Touchless' Appliance Deployment: EFS WAN Accelerator appliances will automatically contact the EFS WAN Accelerator Manager for configuration and operation information and start accelerating applications immediately.
    
  • Single, Group, or Global EFS WAN Accelerator configuration: Powerful grouping feature provides administrators with the flexibility of creating groups of appliances based on geographical location, business function, or personal preference.
    
  • CLI Command Broadcasting: Extends the EFS WAN Accelerator CLI functionality to its powerful group capability allowing administrators to broadcast scripted CLI commands to designated appliance groups.
    
  • Aggregate Performance Reports: Provides the ability to centrally view performance statistics for all EFS WAN Accelerator appliances network-wide.
    
  • Centralized Software Upgrade, Health Monitoring, and Log Retrieval: Facilitates software upgrades for all deployed EFS WAN Accelerators and presents a centralized view of health, status, and appliance logs.
    

• HP EFS WAN Accelerators reduce cost and complexity of distributed IT infrastructure, by enabling consolidation and centralization of file and application servers to the datacenter and allowing IT managers and compliance officers to gain tighter control of sensitive data.

• Many enterprise customers are already enjoying the benefits of centralized high performance storage. But, with today's global workforce, it is critical to deliver high-performance, near-real-time access to centralized storage--no matter where employees are located--and current access and replication solutions are not meeting those needs.

• Because HP EFS WAN Accelerators optimize both WAN bandwidth and latency, file transfers can be accomplished at LAN-like speeds--a file transfer that normally takes an hour can be done in under a minute.

• Installation of HP EFS WAN Accelerators in remote offices provides a means to eliminate remote office backup headaches. Server data can be copied across the WAN at high performance to a server in the data center, and then go to tape there.

• HP EFS WAN Accelerators eliminate the bottlenecks caused by low bandwidth and high latency, allowing users to share information at LAN-like speeds no matter where they are.

• By removing all repetitive traffic from the WAN, HP EFS WAN Accelerators will typically remove 60% to 95% of WAN traffic, which means the effective bandwidth of an existing WAN links can be increased by up to twenty-fold.

• Ensures seamless integration into established ProLiant environments, including support for HP Systems Insight Manager and Integrated Lights-out (iLO) features.

• When it comes time to open new remote offices, instead of deploying local file servers, a local email server, and local tape backup, it's much more economical to deploy an HP EFS WAN Accelerator, and minimize the remote office infrastructure that needs to be deployed, maintained, upgraded and patched.

• HP Insight Manager - HP EFS WAN Accelerators support Insight Manager through SNMP. For more information on HP Insight Manager: http://h18013.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/hpsim/index.html
