App Acceleration in Prisma Access

Learn how App Acceleration works in Prisma Access.

When your users access apps, they can experience poor app performance due to decreased throughput. This condition can be caused by degraded wireless connectivity, network congestion, and other factors. These networking issues can adversely affect the employee experience and can reduce their productivity.

App Acceleration directly addresses the causes of poor app performance and acts in real-time to boost throughput while maintaining best-in-class security, dramatically improving the user experience for Prisma Access GlobalProtect and Remote Network users.

Without requiring any changes to your applications, App Acceleration securely builds an understanding of:

Device capability—The type of client endpoint
Network capability—The type of network
App Context— The type of app being used

Using its understanding of network, device, and application context, App Acceleration maximizes throughput and adjusts in real-time to account for changing network conditions.

When compared to direct internet access, App Acceleration offers a marked throughput improvement for TCP traffic when connecting through Prisma Access.

You can view these improvements using Autonomous DEM (ADEM), which provides you with metrics such as throughput per application and the data and apps that were accelerated. Using this information, you can pinpoint how App Acceleration improved the app experience for your users.
