Estudio de la optimización WAN (Wide Area Network) para la implementación de réplicas de centros de datos

Abstract

Traffic growth is a trend that has been manifesting quickly in recent years due to several factors, including the complexity of the applications currently used, the number of users and the amount of information, therefore data centers are rapidly evolving, it is a risk for a company, since if it is not backed up it becomes a point of failure that could stop the normal operation of an institution in case of a disaster occurs. The implementation of data center replicas is a necessary process, but it has two drawbacks: the time required to perform the replica and the saturation of traffic generated by it. In the present work, data replication tests were performed on a prototype, the data was initially replicated without any intermediate device, for the second test a WAN Optimizer was used, which reduced the transfer time by 30% and for a second Replication or in a possible information retrieval the time reduction was 96%.
