Silver Peak develops data centre class network appliances that maximise WAN performance while minimising WAN costs. The company’s unique network approach to WAN optimisation delivers unprecedented scalability and flexibility, enabling enterprises to rapidly move large amounts of data across long distances.
Silver Peak Products
NX Appliances
Silver Peak’s award winning NX appliances are standalone devices that seamlessly fit into any enterprise network, sitting between network resources and the WAN infrastructure that is used to connect them to remote users. Deployment of NX appliances requires absolutely no client, server, or application reconfiguration.
NX appliances use Silver Peak’s patent-pending Network Memory™ technology to significantly reduce the amount of data traversing the WAN and ensure LAN-like application performance. In addition, Silver Peak appliances leverage Network Acceleration techniques to overcome WAN latency, and Network Integrity features to mitigate the effects of packet loss across the WAN. Robust Quality of Service (QoS) policies ensure applications are prioritised appropriately and given adequate network resources. The result is order of magnitude performance improvements, reduced IT costs, and increased management and security.
VX Appliances
VX appliances are software-only versions of NX appliances. They support all the same Network Acceleration, Network Integrity (including QoS), and Network Memory™ features as their NX counterparts, but in a virtualized manner. By deploying Silver Peak’s VX family of appliances on industry standard servers, enterprises reap all the cost and flexibility benefits of server virtualization.
VRX Appliances
Silver Peak’s VRX appliances are virtual WAN optimisation devices designed specifically for data centre-to-data centre initiatives, such as data replication, data migration, and disaster recovery. They deliver the highest end-to-end throughput of any virtual WAN optimisation device and are proven compatible with all leading storage solutions.
Global Management System
Global Management System (GMS) is a powerful platform for the deployment, management, and monitoring of a Silver Peak-enabled Wide Area Network (WAN). GMS gives IT managers detailed visibility into all aspects of application delivery across a distributed enterprise, including WAN performance statistics, application analysis, and tools for the configuration and management of Silver Peak NX Series appliances. With Silver Peak, enterprises can centrally deliver business critical applications in a secure, scalable, and cost effective manner.
Why do enterprises deploy Silver Peak?
Silver Peak’s WAN optimisation solution enables enterprises of all sizes to:
- Consolidate data centers (and migrate data quickly between locations)
- Backup and recover more data across the WAN Centralise servers and storage without impacting application performance
- Collaborate in real-time across the WAN (voice, video, virtual desktops)
In addition, Silver Peak improves IT operations by delivering the following benefits:
- Increase visibility and control of the WAN
- Lower bandwidth costs by delaying upgrades and/or moving to MPLS and Internet VPNs
What technologies does Silver Peak use?
Silver Peak uses real-time network optimization techniques to maximize application performance across the WAN while minimizing IT operational costs. These include:
- Network Acceleration to overcome WAN latency
- Network Integrity to correct packet delivery issues and ensure adequate Quality of Service (QoS)
- Network Memory™ to maximize WAN bandwidth utilization
Silver Peak keeps enterprise data secure with its Secure Content Architecture™. All NX appliances are equipped with AES encryption to protect local data stores and optional IPSec to keep content safe across the WAN.
