Register NowSegment 1 - Application FluencyBottlenecks are being created between applications and end users.
This re-centralization is the right answer to regain control of our applications, but does it threaten to exacerbate the user challenges we are already experiencing?

The difference between ACE and WAAS
Segment 2 - WAAS Ease of DeploymentSegment 3 - ACE with James SchultzJames Schultz is our engineering guest from Cisco's Data Center Applications group to help us dive deeper on the unique aspects of the Cisco ACE - Application Control Engine. Join us as we discuss and whiteboard the unique aspects of ACE including installation, configuration, and little known benefits of transparent integration, virtualization and no-headache, pay-as-you-go software upgrades.
Three Faces of ACE:
1. Next Generation of server load balancer
2. Application Acceleration through standards based optimization of the HTTP protocol using unique technology from the
Fineground acquisition and ported over from what Cisco created with the AVS 3110, AVS 3120.
3. Security - stateful firewalling as a 'last line of defense'
Segment 4 - ACE and WAAS, Lets Meet the New CoupleGabriel Dixon from Cisco's Enterprise Solutions Engineering Team (DCAP - Data Center Assurance Program for Applications) walks us through the real world applications testing Cisco does with customer specific lab deployments. The results of testing the actual applications that customers will be seeking to improve through Cisco hardware is a benefit that many vendors cannot offer. Technical documentation that illustrates the inside story from both the application and the network perspective is shared so that customers should only have to 'follow the recipe.'
Specfic applications referenced include Microsoft Sharepoint, Microsoft Exchange 2007 and Oracle as just a few examples.
