The case for server centralization is compelling: facilitated management, fewer security risks, improved auditing capabilities to ensure corporate and regulatory compliance, simplified backup and disaster recovery, and lower overall infrastructure costs.
However, running business critical applications remotely over a WAN can slow performance to a crawl. In the past year, ninety-five percent of companies have experienced challenges delivering applications to workers in remote and branch offices despite brute force attempts at addressing this issue, including server upgrades and adding WAN capacity.
Silver Peak offers a strategic solution that enables LAN-like application performance while maintaining centralized control and management of IT infrastructure. Silver Peak's NX appliances secure and improve application response time over the WAN for all enterprise applications, with 200x performance improvements in some instances.
Optimize all Centralized Enterprise Applications
By working at the network layer, Silver Peak is application and protocol agnostic, benefiting all current and future enterprise applications. This includes::
- Standard TCP applications, such as email (MS Exchange®, IBM Lotus Notes®, SMTP), web, and file services (CIFS, FTP)
- Non-TCP applications, such as NFS, TFTP, some Fibre Channel over IP (FCIP), and custom applications
- Interactive and transactional applications, such as Telnet, Citrix®, Remote Desktop, VDI, and SQL
- Real-time and streaming media, including Voice over IP (VoIP) and video distribution.
All enterprise applications benefit from Silver Peak's innovative Network Acceleration, Network Integrity, and Network Memory technologies. This results in the maximum Return on Investment (ROI) for WAN acceleration.
Silver Peak Advantages
- Application Breadth- Silver Peak is the only vendor to address bandwidth, latency, and loss in real-time and at the network layer. These techniques benefit all IP traffic, providing the most value across the widest range of enterprise applications.
- Real-time - Silver Peak's Network Integrity, Network Acceleration and Network Memory techniques are all done in real-time. As a result, Silver Peak can perform its full range of optimization techniques on latency-sensitive traffic (such as VoIP, video, Citrix, and VDI.) Other solutions either ignore this traffic, or perform limited functions (like QoS).
- Future proof. By working at the network layer, Silver Peak is application agnostic (and version agnostic). If it runs over IP, Silver Peak can help optimize its performance.
- High Capacity - Silver Peak supports Gbps WAN and LAN throughput in a single appliance, with hundreds of thousands of simultaneous TCP flows (i.e. user sessions). This makes Silver Peak ideal for large enterprise deployments.
Several WAN optimization vendors can optimize the performance of centralized file, email and web servers. But, how many can also optimize real-time traffic, like VoIP, video, and virtual applications/desktops? Silver Peak does! In addition, Silver Peak's data center class appliances address the unique scalability issues that arise when servers and storage are centralized in a single location.
