Moving Replication target offsite, add WAN accelerators?

[jbarrow.viracoribt]

Currently we have 1 Cisco UCS and 1 NetApp SAN in our production environment. This system replicates hourly, over ethernet (due to us using virtual proxies) from one building, to another building at really fast speeds. The organization wants to move this replication system (our DR system) from our second building to an offsite DR location that will be connected to the main site via 100Mbps-1,000Mbps broadband. I'm wondering, should we add in WAN accelerators to the mix if we do this or just stick with having a proxy on each side to talk to each other?

Jonathan, WAN Accelerators were designed to accelerate slow WAN links, so using them on links 100 Mbps and faster is not intended. In your case having proxies on both sides is the optimal setup. Thanks.
