Accelerator 6900 Series

• Spectacular HTTP & FTP acceleration through hard drive caching
• WAFS Ready
• WAN Optimization, Application Acceleration, Security, and Visibility & Management
• Enhanced reporting and logging

Application traffic management PLUS 6900 Series Benefits

The WAFS-Ready Accelerator product line builds on the trusted AcceleratorOS • WAFS Ready
platform, bringing all of the functionality of other Accelerators, plus bringing
lightning fast application response times with true application caching, extend- •Phenomenal HTTP and FTP
ing the reporting and logging facilities, and most importantly opening the door acceleration through caching
for a full and complete WAFS solution. On top of the features you expect from
Expand, next-generation compression, application acceleration, traffic discov- • For WAN speeds up to 20 Mbps
ery, Layer 7 application visibility, sophisticated reporting, and Instant QoS, with
the WAFS-Ready Accelerator product lines, you can support all of your server •U
 p to 200 connections to remote
consolidation projects with the most comprehensive feature set in the industry Accelerators
Ensuring accelerated remote office user experience
• Copper and fiber Gigabit platforms
The Accelerator 6900 Series is ideal for large distributed enterprises. In addition
with optical hardware bypass
to industry leading application acceleration technologies, these WAFS-Ready
Accelerators will push your remotely accessed web applications, and other
HTTP and FTP using applications, up to LAN quality performance and user
experience. When your server consolidation project starts to remove file serv-
ers from the remote office, the Expand WAFS solution will ensure that remote
users still have LAN-like access to their critical files, while at the same time
providing a reliable system to keep them working should WAN connectivity be
lost. The WAFS-Ready Accelerator 6900 Series is comprised of the Accelerator
6910, which has 1 GB of flash memory and a 500 GB hard drive, and the
Accelerator 6940, which has 4 GB of flash memory and a 500 GB hard drive.
Deployment in high-speed data centers
The Accelerator 6900 Series supports high-speed data links that connect criti-
cal sites, and can be deployed to support hundreds of remote sites. It scales
from 2 Mbps to 20 Mbps, supports Gigabit Ethernet and provides rack-and-
stack options. It supports mesh networks and can be deployed either On-Path
between the LAN segment and router or On-LAN by connecting non-obtru-
sively to the switch or router. It includes fail-to-wire functionality, offers optical
hardware bypass and supports standard failover protocols.
