Application Optimization uses caching, compression, and protocol optimization to reduce bandwidth use and improve application performance. Traffic between sites is automatically encrypted and authenticated across public or private networks, including internet and MPLS. A single-pass architecture decrypts and analyzes VPN traffic for per-application visibility and consumption trends.
