Blue Coat's MACH5 (Multiprotocol Accelerated Caching Hierarchy) protocol enhancements and caching optimizations improve and accelerate the delivery of Oracle Applications over the WAN, reducing the effects of latency and problems associated with limited bandwidth. Through the use of object and byte caching, the bandwidth required to serve Oracle application traffic is minimized, and combined with protocol optimization, mitigates the impact of latency over the WAN. Additionally, the Blue Coat solution also provides the ability to employ bandwidth management/quality of service (QoS) techniques, allowing for any class of traffic to be prioritized, ensuring that Oracle Application traffic does not compete for WAN bandwidth with non-business critical usage.
