What is WAN Optimization?
Eliminating bandwidth waste to accelerate every application. Replify optimizes data before it travels across the Wide Area Network, so the only thing your users notice is faster applications, quicker transfers and lower costs.
Every day, over 10 exabytes of data cross the WAN, much of it inefficiently
Wide Area Networks carry banking systems, government services, schools, hospitals, industry and all public internet traffic. The trouble is that much of this data moves inefficiently: bandwidth is wasted resending the same data over and over, data that could be heavily compressed. The result is wasted money, slower response times and frustrated users.

securing your data end to end
Replify reduces bandwidth consumption and improves application performance by optimizing data before it travels across the WAN. We do it with a layered approach that removes redundant data, accelerates transfer protocols, and minimises the effects of latency and packet loss. The process is fully integrated and invisible.
Our four layered optimization process
Each layer builds on the last, compounding the savings. Together they cut the volume of data on your network and make applications far more responsive.
Protocol Optimization
Replify recognises common protocols and enhances them. “Chatty” protocols like CIFS become far more efficient, HTTP headers are compressed, and encrypted SSL/TLS traffic can be safely accelerated with the right keys.
Deduplication
Our intelligent caching engine spots repeated byte patterns across any protocol, stores them once, and sends lightweight references instead of the full data. It works for uploads and downloads alike.
Compression
After deduplication, what remains is further reduced with lossless compression, often halving the size of formats like XML, Office documents, database queries and web traffic.
TCP Optimization
Replify tunes TCP to cope with latency and packet loss, reuses optimized WAN connections, and cuts unnecessary round trips, so applications feel noticeably more responsive.

How does Replify WAN Optimization work?
Using a number of acceleration techniques, Replify Accelerator reduces the amount of data transferred between the end user and the cloud service. More detail is in our white paper.
What cloud services do you work with?
Pretty much any cloud service going, not just the big names like Microsoft 365. We can accelerate any cloud application, including those in your own private cloud, and applications in your own data centre. Remember, the cloud is just someone else’s data centre.
How is it deployed?
Install our appliance on your cloud platform and our client software on your end user devices. Alternatively, deploy an appliance at a remote site and route all your users’ traffic through it, in which case no client software is installed at all. Full detail is in the installation guide.
What do you do with my data?
Nothing. Replify Accelerator is hosted by you on your chosen cloud platform. Replify Ltd has no access to your appliance and cannot access any of your data.
Is it compatible with all applications?
Yes. All applications work with Replify Accelerator installed, though the level of benefit may differ from one application to another.
Is it secure?
Yes. We use TLS v1.3 to secure your data, even if your cloud provider doesn’t. We don’t store user credentials and we don’t bypass any authentication mechanisms. Replify can even enhance the security of your cloud application with Replify Secure Access.
Will it work with my VPN or remote access solution?
Yes. Replify Accelerator works on top of your existing remote access solution, so the security you already have is maintained. If you need a new remote access solution, take a look at Replify Secure Access.
Does it change how my remote workers work?
Not at all. They work exactly as they do without Accelerator. Beyond the performance improvements, they’ll probably be completely unaware there’s a new application running on their device.
Can I buy direct?
Of course. That said, if you’re outside the UK or Ireland you might prefer to buy through one of our partners to help with time zone and language differences.
What size of customers do you work with?
All sizes, from a single user to thousands, across many different use cases and geographies.
Can I try it?
Yes. You can start a 14 day free trial right now and test it in your own environment, completely free. Our support team is on hand during the trial, and signing up won’t land you with pushy sales calls or a spam filled inbox.
