A method of improving performance of network communication for an application communicating via a wide area network (WAN) including executing a classifier including a machine learning algorithm to classify a data set corresponding to a profile of network communication via the WAN for the application, the classification identifying the network communication as a candidate for WAN optimization, wherein the classifier is trained based on a plurality of training data sets each having associated an indication of suitability for WAN optimization; and responsive to the identification of the network communication as a candidate for WAN optimization implementing WAN optimization for the application.

Communications network performance

A method of improving performance of a software application executing with a virtualized computing infrastructure wherein the application has associated: a hypervisor profile of characteristics of a hypervisor in the infrastructure; a network communication profile of characteristics of network communication for the application; a data storage profile of characteristics of data storage for the infrastructure; and an application profile defined collectively by the other profiles.

Virtualised software application performance

The servers in a data network are monitored () and classified () according to the data flows to and from the servers, to identify servers with low usage, and programming instructions and data relating to those servers are retrieved and stored () so that they may subsequently be retrieved () to replicate the server to which they relate.
