=============================
Replify WAN optimization
=============================

Replify_ is a `WAN optimizer`_ which can improve the performance of certain
applications through caching, compression and various other optimizations.


Enabling Replify
-----------------
To enable Replify in your environment, please contact sales.


Replify setup
--------------
Once Replify has been enabled for your environment, the Replify appliance needs
to be set up in the core network and some integrations need configuring.

Configuration of Replify is managed on either the Replify appliance
that is deployed, or on the Replify software running on the bond directly.


Managing Replify on bonds
-------------------------

Once Replify setup has been completed, enable Replify WAN optimization on a bond
by enabling "Replify WAN optimization" located in the configuration pane on the
bond edit page and then clicking the save button.

If you haven't contacted sales yet, this option will be disabled.


Replify proof of concept
-------------------------

If you specify a bond as a "Replify proof of concept", you will not be billed for Replify
WAN optimization for one month. This option can be set after the bond is created
and will automatically expire after one month. You can have up to three Replify proof
of concept bonds at one time.

To set a bond as a Replify proof of concept, first enable "Replify WAN optimization"
for the bond (see above). Then select the bond Actions button and click "Start Replify POC"
on the bond details page.

was started. To end the Replify proof of concept before it expires, select the bond Actions
button and click "End Replify POC" on the bond details page.
