The Introduction to the WAN Acceleration Framework (IWX) course is an introductory-level, instructor-led course that focuses on installation, configuration, and operational analysis of the WAN Acceleration (WX) and WAN Acceleration Cache (WXC) platforms. The term "WX Framework" defines the eight specific elements that comprise the WX/WXC application acceleration platforms which run the WAN Acceleration Operating System (WXOS). The eight elements are Molecular Sequence Reduction (MSR); Network Sequence Caching (NSC), Packet Flow Acceleration (PFA), Application Flow Acceleration (AppFlow), Quality of Service (QoS), Policy-Based Multi path (Multi path), Web View Device Management (Web View), and WX Central Management System (WX CMS).

The course focuses on the Web View graphical user interface and also covers the Command Line Interface (CLI). In-line configuration using Quick Setup and operational monitoring are provided utilizing MSR and NSC. TCP application acceleration is configured and tested using PFA's Active Flow Pipelining (AFP) feature. AppFlow - which speeds up CIFS, Exchange and HTTP traffic and implementation of Quality of Service (QoS) policies are covered. All of these features are configured and tested in labs by the students. The WX Frame work's exceptional monitoring and reporting capabilities are also featured including an introduction to the WX Central Management System (WX CMS).
