Key Benefits:
•  Additional performance for key enterprise applications
•  Incremental to Data Streamlining and Transport Streamlining
•  Eliminate up to 98% of transactions required to transfer data
•  Enable transparent pre-population, file services, disconnected
   operations, and more

RiOS is based on an application-independent foundation that accelerates all enterprise applications, but also provides a mechanism to add additional acceleration for specific applications that suffer most from the effects of high latency. Application Streamlining is the realization of that flexibility and power.

Application Streamlining can provide an additional order-of-magnitude improvement in application performance, over and above what is provided by Data Streamlining and Transport Streamlining, by reducing application-protocol chattiness up to 98% and minimizing application overhead.

Today, RiOS includes additional application performance via Application Streamlining for the following protocols:

• CIFS for Windows and Mac clients (Windows file sharing, backup and replication, and other Windows-based applications)
• MAPI including encrypted email (Microsoft Exchange – v 5.5, 2000, 2003, and 2007 are all supported)
• NFS (v 3.0 – UNIX File Sharing and Unix-based applications)
• HTTP (Web applications)
• HTTPS (Secure Web applications)
• MS-SQL (Database applications)
• Microsoft Office
• Lotus Notes
• Oracle 11i and 12
• Central printing

RiOS also includes important features for maximizing branch office productivity, such as file server capabilities and the capability to pre-populate Steelhead appliances or even file servers with popular data. The optional feature known as Proxy File Service (PFS) also supports disconnected operations so that files can be accessed by users in branch offices even if a WAN connection fails.
