The Cisco Wide Area Virtualization Engine 574, identified by part number WAVE-574-K9, is an application accelerator designed to enhance the performance of applications over wide area networks (WANs). This device is specialised in optimising the delivery of applications such as file sharing, video streaming, and other latency-sensitive applications that often face delays across distributed enterprise networks. By using advanced data reduction techniques, the WAVE 574 helps to reduce WAN bandwidth consumption, allowing users to experience quicker response times and better performance without requiring additional network capacity.
The Cisco WAVE 574 is equipped with deduplication and compression capabilities, which allow it to cut down on redundant data transmission—greatly reducing the amount of data that needs to travel long distances. This ensures that valuable bandwidth is used efficiently, which can be critical in remote or highly congested network environments. Additionally, the WAVE-574-K9 supports features such as traffic prioritisation for key applications, ensuring that mission-critical services receive the bandwidth they need.
This model also supports Cisco WAAS (Wide Area Application Services) for optimising TCP-based application flow. The hardware includes reliable specifications like dual, hot-swappable power supplies, ensuring significant uptime for continuous operation. The device also offers security features such as encryption, ensuring that optimisation does not compromise sensitive data during transmission. With the WAVE 574, businesses gain a solution that accelerates the distribution of data-intensive applications, improving productivity across global sites.
