APPNAV – Cisco Implementing and Configuring APPNAV and WAAS v6.2

The Course Name: APPNAV – Cisco Implementing and Configuring APPNAV and WAAS v6.2

The Course Duration: 35 Hours / 5 days

The Overview:
The purpose of this course is to teach participants how to optimize the wide area network with the Cisco’s product line so the end user thinks they are accessing data locally, not over slow wan links. This course covers all the standard functions such as TCP Optimization, Data Redundancy Elimination but also focuses on advanced topics such as APPNAV and Akamai Connect. Students will focus on common optimization methods and then do a deep dive on advanced content optimization for content including Youtube, Netflix and other dynamic multimedia content.
