About Application performance on the WAN
Application delivery has become the networking professional's most important goal. Excellent application performance on the WAN requires understanding the behavior of your company's business-critical applications (such as Oracle and SAP), how they interact with other applications, how to perform applications monitoring, and putting performance metrics in place to ensure they are working at acceptable levels for users across the WAN at all times.
