Silver Peak Systems Supplies Transplace Scalable Solution for WAN Acceleration

Real-Time WAN Duplication Accelerates NetApp Replication; Avoids Costly Bandwidth Upgrade

Silver Peak Systems (www.silver-peak.com), the leading provider of scalable Wide Area Network (WAN) acceleration solutions, today announced that Transplace, an industry leader in third party logistics services and technology, selected Silver Peak NX appliances to improve data throughput between the company's data centers. With Silver Peak, Transplace is performing real-time NetApp SnapMirror replication in a secure manner while also improving the performance of web, email, and other business applications across the WAN. This minimizes the company's risk of exposure while maximizing Transplace's investment in networking and storage technology.

"Predictable and consistent backups are critical to our data center business objectives and Silver Peak empowered us to achieve these goals by maximizing throughput on our WAN without requiring costly infrastructure upgrades," said Ron Smith, vice president of IT, Transplace. "While other WAN optimization vendors had challenges handling the volume of traffic and number of flows in our environment, Silver Peak demonstrated the optimal level of scalability that made them a perfect fit for our environment."

The Silver Peak solution is optimized to support large networks, delivering the best performance on high capacity WAN links and across many distributed enterprise locations. Silver Peak offers the industry's premier solution for disk-based WAN deduplication -- Network Memory(TM) -- which reduces over 95 percent of WAN traffic and ensures LAN-like application performance across the WAN by eliminating the transfer of duplicate data. Network Memory works on all enterprise applications, regardless of transport protocol (TCP, UDP or proprietary) or latency requirements. As a result, Silver Peak is commonly used to accelerate a variety of business-critical applications, including real-time data replication, remote backup, SQL, file, email, web, Voice over IP (VoIP) and streaming video.
