performance penalties from packet loss and re-transmission. Citrix Branch Repeater offers industry-leading
compression technology to reduce link congestion, increase data throughput and accelerate application
response. Citrix’s unique multi-level compression selects optimal compression methods based on
network load conditions, WAN bandwidth and traffic type. Immediate detection and optimization of
application protocols such as CIFS, FTP, NFS and HTTP mitigate protocol inefficiencies by proxying
client-server handshakes, reducing protocol chattiness, and optimizing payload. Faster application
response times and better bandwidth utilization result. Congested link conditions can be easily
managed with Quality of Service (QoS) mechanisms, including ICA
®
-aware QoS for ensuring the
performance of Citrix XenApp and Citrix XenDesktop

Local branch services
Branch infrastructure optimization initiatives often include server, application and data consolidation.
Citrix Branch Repeater can act as the “last server” in the branch by delivering required branch IT
infrastructure services such as file serving, print serving, authentication, authorization, and core
network services such as DHCP and DNS, all provided by the industry’s most reliable and
interoperable operating system: Microsoft
®
Windows Server

Enterprise class features
Powerful Windows management mechanisms
IT infrastructure optimization requires centralized management. Citrix Branch Repeater, Enterprise
Edition offers Windows Management Interface (WMI) providers for WAN optimization functionality that
work in parallel with WMI providers for the operating system. The result is comprehensive, centralized
management of branch service infrastructure. Using solutions such as Microsoft System Center
Operation Manager, an entire enterprise network of Citrix Branch Repeaters can be centrally and
seamlessly managed. Consummate management flexibility is available using WMI scripting under
Windows PowerShell

.
Flexible deployment options and network transparency
For deployment flexibility, Citrix Branch Repeater can join the branch network with in-line, policy-based
routing or WCCP (Web Cache Communication Protocol) modes. Branch Repeater is transparent to
both applications and the network. All accelerated application traffic flows traverse the WAN without
intrusive tunneling technology, which can obscure vital IP and TCP header information. If inline
deployment and high availability requirements demand it, Citrix Branch Repeater is available in
configurations including a Bypass Network Interface Card (NIC) that provides continuous access to
the WAN in the unlikely event of an appliance offline state.
Adaptable to changing business requirements
Citrix Branch Repeater is available in several models and bandwidth upgrades allow for branch and
resulting network bandwidth growth. Branch Repeater may be augmented with customer-installed
management and security agents. Check www.citrix.com/branchrepeater for information on currently
supported agents. For the enterprise branch using the World Wide Web for business processes, the
Web Caching module of the Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server is available as an
option for Citrix Branch Repeater, Enterprise Edition.
