It uses caching plus deduplication technology on the network traffic to limiit the amount of bytes you end up sending across your site to site WAN Pipes. The smart bit is that it appears to understand many of the applications that corporations use company wide and help keep that traffic to a minimum. Anything custom may or may not work with it and there are certain types of traffic it cannot do anything about (VOIP, etc).
