Wide-Area Data Network Performance Engineering

Design and deploy Cisco WAN optimization and application acceleration solutions for the enterprise WAN Today, IT organizations are increasingly squeezed by competing demands. They must support more distributed users who demand greater availability and performance. They must protect their digital assets with far more robust security. And they must do it all while gaining far greater control over cost. Distributing IT resources increases management, hardware, and software overhead, but centralizing IT can worsen application performance. There is a solution to this quandary: Cisco application acceleration and WAN optimization technologies that permit IT to safely centralize distributed IT resources, meeting user performance expectations without replaci...

This brand new title provides an insight into the rich diversity of techniques, tools and knowledge used in performance engineering, covering the whole life cycle - from design through to operation - of both networks and systems. Performance modelling is discussed as an essential technique, providing the ability to predict performance through a quantitative understanding of how varying demand affects the behavior of a system or network. Performance testing is analyzed, offering the final opportunity to address the concerns of economic pressures pushing the identification and resolution of performances further down the supplier chain.Also available:Mobile and Wireless Communications: Key Technologies and Future Applications - ISBN 0863413684Carrier Sc...
