How it Works

Virtela manages an end-to-end solution that uses Virtela's application acceleration virtualization software deployed on customer- or Virtela-provided servers at the customer's locations. The software applies caching, compression, higher layer communication protocol and application optimization to reduce application chattiness, and other acceleration technologies to make the applications run faster.

Private Network

Internet

Figure 2 show how you can leverage Virtela's software-based on premises application acceleration service using another carrier's underlying transport network such as MPLS or IP VPN. Figure 3 depicts an implementation using the Public Internet with Virtela's software-based on premises application acceleration service.
