- Do clients or servers need any changes?
- No. WarpEngine is a transparent proxy: applications, operating systems and devices at both ends stay exactly as they are.
- Do I need WarpEngine at both ends of the path?
- No. WarpEngine is single-ended: one appliance or virtual edition improves the flows it carries. A second one at a branch adds Wi-Fi jitter filtering there.
- Does it work with encrypted traffic?
- Yes. WarpEngine never reads or rewrites the payload, so encrypted traffic such as TLS benefits just as much as unencrypted or compressed traffic.
- What happens if WarpEngine fails or restarts?
- Edge and Telecom & Core appliances use fail-safe bypass network cards: if the appliance loses power or restarts, traffic passes straight through, so WarpEngine never becomes a point of failure.
- Does it replace SD-WAN or WAN optimization?
- No. It works alongside SD-WAN, WAN optimization and application delivery controllers, and fixes the transport-layer behavior they do not change.
- Can I run WarpEngine in my own cloud?
- Yes. Virtual editions run as a VM or container on Linux KVM in a public or private cloud, sized by users with a minimum vCPU count, and licensed as a per-user subscription.
- How do I provision it?
- By the number of users the deployment serves: editions range from 10 users for a small office to 100,000 for a telecom or data-center core.
