transfer of data among multiple computers in a network, typically a local area network (LAN), a private <br />network or to other networks. Networking software capabilities should include: <br />• Restartable Process <br />• High availability options <br />• Targeted operating systems, i.e. DC, campus, core, wan, etc. <br />• Operating System Efficiencies <br />• Network analysis tools (solutions utilized to collect, classify, analyze, and securely store log <br />messages). <br />1.2.2.1 Network Management and Automation — Software products and solutions for network <br />automation, cloud computing, and IT systems management. <br />1.2.2.2 Data Center Management and Automation — Software products and solutions that capture and <br />automate manual tasks across servers, network, applications, and virtualized infrastructure. <br />1.2.2.3 Cloud Portal and Automation — Software products and solutions for cloud management with <br />policy -based controls for provisioning virtual and physical resources. <br />1.2.2.4 Branch Office Management and Automation — Software products and solutions for <br />management of branch offices. Capabilities include remote troubleshooting, device management, and <br />WAN performance monitoring. <br />1.2.3 Network Optimization and Acceleration. <br />Devices and tools for increasing data -transfer efficiencies across wide -area networks. <br />1.2.3.1 Data Analytics — Appliance for improving network management by more effectively factoring in <br />issues related to congestion, such as utilization, service consumption and routing. Provides real-time <br />insights into network traffic to determine the value of different portions of that traffic. <br />1.2.3.2 Dynamic Load Balancing (Network Traffic Management) — An appliance that performs a series <br />of checks and calculations to determine which server can best service each client request in order to select <br />the server that can successfully fulfill the client request and do so in the shortest amount of time without <br />overloading either the server or the server farm as a whole. <br />1.2.3.3 WAN Acceleration — Appliance that optimizes bandwidth to improve the end user's experience <br />on a wide area network (WAN). Capabilities should include: <br />• CIFS acceleration <br />• Data Compression <br />• SSL encryption/decryption for acceleration (Optional) <br />• Layer 4-7 visibility <br />• Application Specific optimization <br />1.2.3.4 High Availability and Redundancy — Limits any disruption to network uptime should an appliance <br />face unforeseen performance issues. Transparently redistributes workloads to surviving cluster appliances <br />without impacting communication throughout the cluster. <br />1.2.4 Optical Networking. <br />Page 2 of 11 <br />Attachment B <br />
