WX Central Management System Upgrade from 400 to 500 Devices
The Juniper Networks® WX Central Management System (WX CMS) offers a powerful, intuitive solution for centrally managing, monitoring, and configuring Juniper Networks WXC Series Application Acceleration Platforms distributed throughout an enterprise. Running on Microsoft Windows 2000 and 2003 servers, the WX CMS software supports multiple versions of the WXC Series operating system software and can be accessed securely from any compatible browser connection through HTTPS.
The WX CMS software provides unprecedented visibility into how applications are performing over the WAN, offering detailed information about traffic patterns, bandwidth consumption, and other performance trends that IT can use to maximize WAN resources. An integrated content distribution feature also enables the WX CMS software to prepopulate distributed WXC Series by proactively pushing large files intended for companywide distribution, eliminating the need for separate enterprise content delivery network (ECDN) solutions.
The monitoring software helps IT learn how users and applications are interacting over the WAN, reporting on bandwidth consumption, top talkers, and how quality of service (QoS) policies are impacting overall application throughput. An Event Management Console displays a comprehensive list of WAN and application problems, enabling IT to quickly pinpoint trouble spots, determine whether the WAN is at fault, and drill down to identify and resolve issues.
The WX CMS software also provides visibility into each element of the WXC Series Framework, which defines the attributes required to accelerate application performance over the WAN. With WX CMS, IT can manage additional WAN capacity created by Molecular Sequence Reduction (MSR) and Network Sequence caching technologies, see the impact that Packet Flow Acceleration (PFA) and Application Flow Acceleration (AppFlow) technologies have on application performance, allocate bandwidth and prioritize applications through QoS, and direct applications over multiple WAN links with the Policy-based Multipath feature.
