Cisco Wide Area ApplicationServices WAAS is technology developed by Cisco Systems that optimizes the performance of any TCP based application operating in a wide area network WAN environment while preserving and strengthening branch security. WAAS combines WAN optimization , acceleration of TCP based applications, and Cisco s Wide Area File Services WAFS in a single appliance or blade. It is Cisco s attempt to keep WAN optimization residing firmly in the router, eliminating the need to deploy acceleration appliances throughout the infrastructure. The technology preserves TCP information within the network while offering the performance benefits that come along with using WAN optimization technology. WAN optimization appliances have traditionally limited IT when it comes to maintaining functions such as security, Quality of Service , visibility, and monitoring end to end transactions because they tend to cause problems for most network monitoring devices and tools. By design, WAN Optimization confuses performance monitoring systems by changing packet header data. ref http www.networkperformancedaily.com 2007 07 whiteboard series the impact o.html The impact of WAN Optimization on TCP Applications ref ref http www.networkperformancedaily.com 2007 07 tracking the optimized wan net 1.html more Tracking the optimized WAN ref Latest Release br Cisco s latest WAAS software release, announced at the 2007 Cisco Networkers conference, is the industry s first solution for both end to end monitoring and acceleration of application traffic.

The Generic Security ServicesApplication Program Interface GSSAPI , also GSS API is an application programming interface for programs to access security services. The GSSAPI is an IETF standard that addresses the problem of many similar but incompatible security services in use today. How it works The GSSAPI, by itself, does not provide any security. Instead, security service vendors provide GSSAPI implementations usually in the form of Library computer science libraries installed with their security software. These libraries present a GSSAPI compatible interface to application writers who can write their application to use only the Standardization vendor independent GSSAPI. If the security implementation ever needs replacing, the application need not be rewritten. The definitive feature of GSSAPI applications is the exchange of opaque messages tokens that hide the implementation detail from the higher level application. The client and server sides of the application are written to convey the tokens given to them by their respective GSSAPI implementations. GSSAPI tokens can usually be sent over an insecure network as the mechanisms provide inherent message security. After some number of tokens have been exchanged, the GSSAPI implementations at both ends inform their local application that a security context has been established. Once a security context is established, sensitive application messages can be wrapped encrypted by the GSSAPI for secure communication between client and server. Typical protections guaranteed by GSSAPI wrapping include confidentiality secrecy and Data ... application data into a secure message token typically encrypted GSS Unwrap converts a secure message token back into application data The GSSAPI has been standardized for the C programming language ... not present when the original application was built.

Application retirement is the practice of shutting down data redundancy redundant or obsolete business applications while retaining access to the historical data computing data . Legacy application s are often maintained solely to provide infrequent or sporadic access to the data within the application database for regulatory or business purposes. With organizations spending upwards of 75 of their application software budgets on ongoing data maintenance maintenance ref http whitepapers.zdnet.com abstract.aspx?docid 947913 A Practical Guide for Retiring Applications by Informatica 2009 ref , application retirement can deliver significant cost savings. The act of application retirement usually involves data migration relocating data from the legacy application database to another Software repository data repository or archive store that can be accessed independently using Standardization industry standard reporting or business intelligence tools. Application retirement allows Information technology IT departments within companies to reduce the software, hardware and resources required to manage legacy data. Application retirement is also referred to as application decommissioning ref ftp ftp.software.ibm.com software data sw library data management optim whitepapers appretire wp us.pdf Application Decommissioning and Consolidation Projects Strategies that Deliver ROI by IBM 2009 ref and application sunsetting.

The technical concept can be compared to Mashup web application hybrid mashups . However, composite applications use business sources e.g., existing modules or even Web services of information, while mashups usually rely on web based, and often free, sources. It is wrong to assume that composite applications are by definition part of a service oriented architecture SOA . Composite applications can be built using any technology or architecture. A composite application consists of functionality drawn from several different sources. The components may be individual selected functions from within other applications, or entire systems whose outputs have been packaged as business functions, modules, or web services. Composite applications often incorporate orchestration computers orchestration of local application logic to control how the composed functions interact with each other to produce the new, derived functionality. For composite applications that are based on SOA, WS CAF is a Web services standard ... more details
