Symmetrical Network acceleration with EBS 12

Andy Tremayne, my esteemed colleague and fellow blogger, have published a new whitepaper that discusses the effects of NETW Ork acceleration appliances on traffic optimization for e-business Suite environments:

• Symmetrical Network acceleration with Oracle e-business Suite Release (Note 967992.1)

From Andy ' s crisp prologue:

Network appliances can used to reduce bandwidth and latency effects through the use of data stream compression an D Object Caching. The focus of this whitepaper is the deployment of Oracle e-business Suite across a enterprise wide area network (WAN). Internet-facing applications may benefit from other specialized technologies such as Internet based Content Delivery netwo Rks (CDN) and internet-based network optimization strategies such as caching, route optimization, and protocol Optimizatio N.

The both

main types of acceleration appliances are classed as asymmetric and symmetric. Asymmetric acceleration uses a centrally-located single appliance whereas symmetric acceleration requires an appliance at Either end of a network link, or in some cases, a mono central appliance and corresponding software client on each Remot E computer.

As is Andy's wont, this whitepaper was packed with thoughtful analysis, architectural insights, recommendations, diagrams, In-depth quantitative benchmarks, and detailed charts that compare:

• Traffic reduction improvements for different transaction types
• Socket to servlet data transfer rates
• Response times in optimized and unoptimized testbeds
• Traffic reduction for low network bandwidth activities
• Optimization results for high network bandwith activities

This whitepaper was critical reading for network architects grappling with the challenges of providing e-business Suite acc ESS to geographically-diverse locations.
