Oracle applications (including the Oracle E-Business
Suite) are a collection of enterprise business applications,
including enterprise resource planning (ERP), supply chain
management (SCM) and customer relationship management (CRM)
applications. While Oracle applications usually perform well
in a LAN environment, their performance can suffer when
confronted by WAN limitations such as constrained bandwidth,
encryption and security requirements, latency and network
congestion.
The Blue Coat
Application Delivery Network (ADN) helps you optimize
all your Oracle applications. By combining
Application Performance Monitoring,
WAN Optimization and
Secure Web Gateway technologies in a single,
comprehensive infrastructure, the Application Delivery
Network helps you discover, classify and prioritize all the
traffic on your network. With detailed, intelligent control
over your network, you can cost-effectively accelerate and
secure all the applications that drive your business.
Blue Coat ProxySG and Oracle
More specifically, Blue Coat ProxySG’s protocol enhancements and caching optimizations improve and accelerate the delivery of Oracle applications over the WAN, reducing the effects of latency and problems associated with limited bandwidth.
Performance Results
In a test of an Oracle Application login over an ADSL 768 Kbps link with 30ms latency, Blue
Coat SG appliances improved login times by 25 times or more while reducing bandwidth
usage by 95% or more.
In a test of an Oracle Application file retrieval over a T3 45Mbps link with 150ms latency and
0.1% packet loss, Blue Coat SG appliances improved file retrieval times by 97 times or more
while reducing bandwidth usage by more than 98%.
