version 4.5.1

Hi all,

We are looking at upgrading from 4.4.5c to 4.5.1 to take advantage of ICA accelerator. Is there a document that shows how many concurrent ICA, cifs, http, MAPI accelerations the below hardware can support?

WAE - 674 / 8G memory

WAE- 512 / 1G memory

WAE - 512 / 2G memory

WAE - 612 / 4G memory

WAVE 274 - 3G memory

Your assistance is appreciated.

cheers

Your ICA limit is 1/5th of your connection limit.

WAE-674/8G - 6000 connection limit - 1200 ICA limit

WAE-512/2G - 1500 connection limit - 300 ICA limit

WAE-274 - 200 connection limit - 40 ICA limit

These numbers from running command "sho accel det"

I would assume the 1/5th rule would be consistent with

WAE-612/4Gb - 6000 connection limit - 1200 ICA limit

WAE-512/1Gb - 750 connection limnit - 150 ICA limit

However, I have seen a Cisco ICA sizing document regarding 5.0.1 and I was told that they had not finished testing ICA throughput on all the devices, but I saw the 574 in there, and their recommend numbers were 1/10th of the connection limit, and 80Mbps LAN side. Sorry I do not have the actual PDF document, my Cisco rep showed it to me on his laptop.

All the other protocols are just part of the default connection limit of your particular device, they do not change when you upgrade.

Thanks. I verified a document from my cisco WAAS POC engineer, you was spot on!

Hello

Can someone confirm when this will be released to the public or has 5.1 replaced it? We can't go to version 5.1 due to the hardware not being supported on WAE-512s. I know 4.5 is available through your SE but I really need to have it be released to public before I can deploy it into production. We really could benefit from the Citrix AO as we just migrated a business critical application from a branch in South Africa to Rye, NY. The latency is well over 300ms. They are connecting over Citrix and are using telnet to connect to the application in Rye. Will this help out with the latency being so high?

Thanks in adance!

Hi John G

WAAS version 4.5.1 was released to the public - but was later put on NPH (New Product Hold). This means you must convince Cisco there is a valid reason for wanting 4.5.1 over 5.0.1 and you will have to fill in a form asking about your precise deployment. Then (and if they agree) they will make it available to you for download.

Thanks for the response... In my opinion they should make it available to the public, since all of Cisco's marketing talks about Citrix AO in 4.5.1! So this means now I'm forced to upgrade my unsupported hardware, if I just want to run 5.0.1. I do not want to run in a mix environment, Cisco doesn't recommend this. My hardware is still good until 2014.

I'll bug my SE about this. 🙂

version 4.5.1

Srin_G — Mon, 15 Oct 2012 13:30:23 GMT

yeah...usually they give it but press to upgrade to 5.0.1 but i got the same issue with hardware. Well anyway got the 4.5.1 code with me and playing with it atm....

good luck mate.
