Cisco Wide Area Application Services (WAAS) is a comprehensive WAN optimization solution that accelerates applications over the WAN, delivers video to the branch office, and provides local hosting of branch-office IT services.

- Application acceleration: Improve productivity of remote employees
- IT consolidation and WAN optimization: Minimize branch IT costs
- Branch IT agility: Respond rapidly to changing business needs
- Simplified data protection: Ease compliance and business continuity
