Deployment / Re: WANOS Over DmVPN (IPSEC)

« on: June 19, 2014, 07:25:14 AM »

Thanks again Antonie,

I saw the answers, and very sorry if my questions were tough. I'm not intently make them hard or try to fail the deal, but at the contrary I'm very fond of your brilliant cost-effective solution. But as per our Company Compliance Rules (inherited from USA-FDA and UK IT-Compliance) we have to have multiple approvals (from IT Head office and Legal departments and off course FINANCE and PURCHASING depts.), and that approval come after a long processes of review, checking and testing's (because our network are VALIDATED networks that affects the pharmaceuticals and medication production).

Sorry again, and I'll check today the answers, and send it to the concern departments and get back to you ASAP.

Thank you for your time and dedication.

Hi Antoine, and good evening...

Many thanks for quoting, and sorry for the late reply.

I already sent you an e-mail containing few question, one last question i forgot to put it and it is:

Do your company accept Purchase Order, as our company is Tax-pay company and we need to reveal all our finance transactions. In case not, we try to ask one of our branches (US/Europe) to do it.

Anyway, thank you again. and good night

Thanks a lot for your time and review.

Yes we're very interested in the Plus version (is WANOS plus 1.0.2 is a go-live released version) 

And we would like to have a quotation too. What is needed from our side as a company. What is the detailed information you need,  please.

Other point,  if I go with the Plus version,  could I change my design (or simplify it) or to expect in your roadmap any consideration regarding these cases or any similar design.

Thank you again.

Hi Antonie,

I just finished the configuration of Firewalls and Routers in our network in order to be able to distribute WANOS Cores and Edges over the branches (attached).

I simulate the network in a lab environment (but unfortunately without WANOS) results of routing was just perfect, and planning today to connect the simulation to WANOS (I'll prepare WANOS for testing, if it goes well then I'll send it for production).

But also, wish to have a solution for such cases in the future and the next coming versions.

Thank you, and wish us good luck.

Hi Antonie,

I'm the one who should thank you for your kindness and support.

Regarding our design, we've been asked to change it in order to place the WANOS at any cost. Anyway, I'll try to come up with any new ideas to achieve WANOS optimization for all our sites.

For that time, thank you again.

Deployment / WANOS Over DmVPN (IPSEC)

« on: June 05, 2014, 10:40:19 AM »

Hi Antonie, good day...

before explain my case below, I'd like to suggest open a new Technical page for WAN Links (or something like that) instead of submitting in the general forum (in WANOS Support index), just for grouping the topics in one technical portal.

My case:
kindly note that we currently almost finished revamp our WAN Network (we actually migrate from leased lines point-to-point which is very costly into DmVPN Cloud, kindly see attached)
Note:- attached diagram is Phase-I, Phase-II we'll add another 3 sites (Sub branches) to HQ-1 site

Now, we don't know how to and where to setup WANOS in our network. as you can see there are HQ-1 and HQ-2, site HQ-2 had 2 sub-branches 1&2.

HQ-1 provides E-mail for all sites, as well the Microsoft Active directory services (LDAP and DNS).
HQ-2 provides File-Server for all sites, as well the Microsoft Active directory services (LDAP and DNS) as backup.

I'm really confused between Cores and Edges, but I'm sure there are 2 Edges in the sub-branches 1&2, but what about the HQ sites. i want each HQ to have the orther site facilities and services, but the problem that each HQ should has a WANOS-Core, that's one. second question is can the WANOS-Core also works as an Edge to benefit from the other site.

Thank you.

That's really great news, and I'm impatient for it. really after many tests WANOS is great and not less than the others.

Wish you all the best in your project.

Features / Hardware load balancing

« on: May 20, 2014, 01:01:04 PM »

Hi Antonie,

Today we finished our last day of POC witch Cisco WAN Acceleration, but we tested only for today the Hardware Load balancing (2 WAN Accelerators Active-Passive with auto-sync for caching) as attached. and was successful. however it was very complex in configuration.

My Question is: Can WANOS "maybe in Future" can support Hardware load balancing for Hardware redundancy. or is there other any to fulfill the fail-over.

Thank you.

Troubleshooting / Re: MACFLAP_NOTIF

Hi Antonie, and thanks for quick response. it is understood now and make sense too. However we're looked for higher data cache store in order to meet our branches needs (daily file server usage around 9 to 15 Gb).

Thank you again for all you efforts.

Dear Antonie,

Many thanks for your great tips and advices, yes it worked perfectly as per your guideline. results was remarkable as per today optimization is around the 5 Gb, incredible.

Also, Thanks for the new version specially the new datastore size for Core, but for the Edge it is consume 4 times the core.

kindly find attached

Hi Antonie,

Today i and my colleague  Abdallah were installed new WANOS_VM_1.8 on the same ESX that holds the old WANOS_VM_1.7(x.x.34.242/23, VLAN34)(out-of-band-mgt port is gig1/0/34), we create new VHD, new VSwitch for the new VM, what happened is that when assign IP (x.x.34.244/23, VLAN34) when VM is up, sudden al the network is hanged and many messages appear on the Cisco_Switch_log which in generaly a MAC flapping between WANOS mgt port with all Cisco Switch Uplinks
