When you have a number of large remote offices that are downloading large documents or have limited bandwidth instead of looking at an asymmetric deployment you may want to consider a symmetric deployment. A symmetric deployment positions the data closer to the user minimizing the effects of latency and reducing bandwidth. The benefits of symmetric deployments include but are not limited to:
- Compression
- Data De-duplication
- TCP Optimizations
- Web Object Caching
- Non-Web Object Caching
For more information on symmetric acceleration see the Acceleration 102 White-paper.
