Compare the Effects of WAN Optimization

Use the Components report to compare the effects of WAN optimization on response time and volume metrics. The management console does not automatically select the time period for you. Browse to the corresponding time period where WAN optimization started or stopped to compare the response time difference.

To compare the effects of WAN optimization, filter the Components report to an application on a particular network.

Follow these steps:

1. From the Optimization page, click Performance in the Show Me menu.
2. Click Settings to specify the application and network you want.
3. Click OK.

   The Client Experience for Optimized Transactions view displays the application.

4. Click Performance, Components in the Show Me menu.
5. Click the Show Before and After Optimization option.

   The component reports now provide both unoptimized application performance data from the server SPAN and WAN-optimized performance data.

6. Click the left and right arrows to browse to the corresponding time period where WAN optimization started or stopped to compare the response time difference. The management console does not automatically select the time period for you.
