• Four times the virtual-services density, with support for up to six virtual blades

• Substantially reduced solution footprint (a third of the previous footprint)

• Simplified IT deployment and troubleshooting

The new WAVE appliances also support both branch and data center deployments:

• WAVE 294, WAVE 594, and WAVE 694 enable branch offices to deploy multiple virtual services such as video, virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) and Windows on WAAS, with five times the throughput.

• The new WAVE 694, WAVE 7541, WAVE 7571, and WAVE 8541 appliances provide large branch offices and data centers with the industry's most scalable 10GE-capable WAN optimization solution.
