FX Series Optimization Summary
•
The FX Series is built upon a flexible and secure base of operating system and acceleration
software. Utilizing an architecture that is modularized, The FX Series accelerates the movement
of data, accelerates the processing of that data and ensures a safe and reliable system.
•
The FX Series can be configured and implemented in several ways to accelerate enterprise
application traffic. All implementations start with an appliance, which functions as a "front-end"
processor to web servers. In this initial "one-sided" mode, the appliance processes traffic
between HTTP clients (browsers) and web servers. The FX Series can also be implemented with
optional client-side hardware, FX Series Remote appliance. The client-side appliance provides
many additional optimization features in a “two-sided” mode.
•
With flexible options for in-line or Cisco’s Web Cache Communication Protocol (WCCP) the FX
Series devices deliver unprecedented transparent optimization. End to End assurance is
maintained for all applications providing complete transparency and the ability for existing
Quality of Service (QOS) and network visibility management programs to continue monitoring
the health of your network.
