whitepaper WAN and Application Optimization: Enhancing the WAN Experience With Performance Routing and Wide Area Application Services2008-04-01 Cisco Systems
  As applications are being centralized, users are becoming increasingly distributed, and as IT organizations are constantly challenged to deliver more services, such as rich content and video to the customers, the performance limitations of WAN, such as limited bandwidth, significantly longer latency, and packet loss, are seriously slowing down application delivery. The Cisco WAN and Application Optimization solution is a set of tools and techniques working together to improve the reliability, performance and delivery of applications securely across an arbitrary network. Cisco Wide Area Application Services (WAAS) and Cisco Performance Routing (PfR) are two of the prominent WAN Optimization tools to optimize application delivery - at both the application level and network level.

whitepaper Expand Networks Implements a WAFS Solution With SAP and Oracle Acceleration Across 50 of CAT Group's Remote Sites2008-04-01 Expand Networks
  Of late, CAT Group recognized the need to completely renew its 5-year-old servers in its remote offices. CAT Group looked at two different technical solutions in order to achieve this. One option was to buy new local file servers for the remote European subsidiaries, and the second, was to consolidate all servers in an EDS datacenter in Paris through WAFS appliances. In both cases, the remote users needed to have consistent or improved application performances on SAP and Microsoft Office software without having to increase WAN bandwidth. CAT chose Expand Networks' WAFS solution, as it was the more powerful solution, and the only one that remained identical, whatever the remote office size.
