Managed Application-Acceleration Service

Provide an opportunity to generate immediate and incremental revenue and long-term strategic advantages through Cisco Wide Area Application Service (WAAS).

Deploying a managed service based on Cisco WAAS increases network throughput and utilization. The service reduces operating and capital costs, simplifies data-protection processes, reduces administration, and optimizes WAN access to files and applications.

By capitalizing on Cisco WAAS technology, you can offer your clients a complete WAN optimization and application-acceleration solution for their branch offices. Centrally managing file, print, and application services lessens the need for software, servers, storage, backup, and IT resources at remote locations.


Hosting, network, and specialized service providers can use managed application-acceleration services to offer customers a complete branch office solution. Because managed application-acceleration services use existing network capabilities and hosting and data center assets, they minimize capital outlay. They also create opportunities to:

  • Generate incremental revenue
  • Enhance customer loyalty
  • Differentiate your service portfolio

Bundle this service with additional network services in your portfolio to create a complete end-to-end solution for multibranch customers. You can increase the benefits by using the resources of the Cisco Partner program.
