Wan Optimization is designed to work with two or more appliances. Using only a single appliance will disable most of the Wan Optimization features like compression, deduplication and packet loss recovery.

A single appliance will produce:

• Web Caching, if deployed.
• Upstream Quality of Service (Shaping, Priority etc)
• Interface statistics and graphs
• Netflow Traffic Statistics e.g top protocols
• Netflow Exports to an external collector
