Adaptive Acceleration Here's an interesting article at NetworkWorldFusion on a technology called adaptive acceleration. This is the first time I've heard of the technology. Here's a couple of snippets from the article: Adaptive acceleration - a new method of expanding existing bandwidth and improving efficiency - offers a remedy. The technology affords ISPs, application service providers and other enterprise customers a comprehensive, auto-learning technology that provides significant improvement in handling data from diverse applications and protocols. [SNIP] Adaptive acceleration is based on several algorithms, including selective caching, vertical data analysis (VDA), adaptive packet compression and quality-of-service prioritization. Selective caching, an advanced algorithm that identifies which data is worth caching and stores it for later retrieval, is not limited to a specific protocol. Data may include full objects such as an entire .gif file, or a partial object such as a color palette of a .gif file. FULL TEXT @ nwfusion.com I wonder how this compares to NTAP's offerings?
