WAN Distribution

Enterprise applications frequently share data across geographically-dispersed sites for disaster recovery, performance, scalability, and separation of concerns. There are several factors that come in to play when application traffic flows from a high-speed local area network (LAN) to a slower and less predictable wide area network (WAN): bandwidth efficiency, distance-based latency, and security.

Solution Overview

Solace’s message routers act a lot like IP routers in that they automatically propagate availability and subscription information to each other. This means Solace solution to send information where it’s via the shortest possible path through LANs and WANs. Combined with the ability to compress and decompress messages at wire-speed and fanout messages at the edge of the network, Solace’s Unified Messaging Platform provides unparalleled WAN performance.

Advantages and Benefits

• High performance: Solace message routers are capable of routing 130,000 messages a second with the guaranteed delivery required for inter-datacenter communications, and if data rates exceed WAN bandwidth, data is automatically buffered to prevent data loss even amidst massive traffic spikes.
• Bandwidth efficiency: Solace’s routing protocols ensure that message routers only send information to those other routers with relevant subscribers. They only send one copy of each message across the WAN link where bandwidth is at a premium, performing message fanout at the edge of the network once back in the LAN environment.
• Compression/decompression: Solace’s solution supports streaming compression and decompression at wire speed on a per client basis to increase bandwidth efficiency.
