WAN Optimization on Virtual Appliances

7.1 expands support for WAN Optimization to the VT800 and CT800 platforms. WAN Optimization is supported on these platforms at the following levels, with the following resources:

Note:

The maximum number of WANOp sessions is scaled based on available memory. If a virtual appliance has insufficient dedicated RAM, the maximum number of WANOp sessions will be lower. Provisioning a virtual appliance below recommended system specifications will not disable WANOp, but will impact WANOp performance. Provisioning a virtual appliance below the defined minimum specifications is not supported.

A warning banner will be displayed in the Web Console if WANOp is enabled on a VT800 or CT800 that does not meet the minimum recommended system specifications. An example is shown below, on a VT800 with insufficient RAM and VCPUs:
