Why is a two-sided solution better for performance than a one-sided solution?
A. Two-sided acceleration solutions are better because they are not limited to only the technology that the browser supports. Browsers will allow data compression through standard Gzip technology, and HTTP data streams to the browser can be optimized. However, unless there is technology on both ends of the network, the optimization to and from the browser cannot be optimized. In addition, a two-sided solution is required in order to support non-HTTP/HTTPS applications, and is the only implementation that can fully benefit mobile users as well; laptops, PDAs or even phones. The combination of hardware and software provides several key customer benefits; performance is maximized, initial investment is reduced, deployment can be done in stages, and upgrades or enhancements are more easily deployed.
