Not to sound too much like Mr. Toigo, but I’ve been telling people this for a long time: Rather than looking to technology to solve your replication issues, consider cutting the volume of data!  Eliminating data to be replicated or adding a cheap short-distance replication target will go a lot farther than fancy link accelerators or WDM hardware.  And getting to know your data is always a good idea!
