| ANS consists of the following components that work together in complete harmony as one fully integrated solution: - Specialized physical appliances called ip|engines that are installed at main enterprise sites (datacenters, headquarters, etc.) and sometimes in branch offices;
- Virtualized versions of ip|engines called virtual|engines for use in virtualized environments including private clouds and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS).
- Emulated appliances called tele|engines or tele-appliances that are automatically delivered remotely by physical ip|engines to provide most of Ipanema’s features in unequipped branches;
- The Ipanema Mobile Agent (IMA™), a software client for Windows laptops and desktops, which provides WAN Optimization features to individual roaming users or users within a branch;
- Central management software – Ipanema’s Scalable Application-Level Service Architecture ( SALSA®) – that provides centralized configuration, management and reporting for the entire system.
Telcos and Managed Service Providers that deliver services to enterprise customers can deploy a dedicated multi-tenant version of SALSA. |
