Limited bandwidth, high latency, dropped packets and out-of-order packets can slow data replication processes to a crawl across a WAN, or prevent them from happening entirely. Silver Peak's WAN acceleration solution helps to address these issues by enabling more data to be transferred in less time between geographiclly disperse locations.
Silver Peak's NX appliances prevent transfer times from falling behind cycle times and eliminate the need to spend a significant amount of money on WAN bandwidth to accommodate peak workloads. As a result, the combined EMC/Silver Peak solution is essential for enterprises with stringent Recovery Point and Time Objectives (RPO/RTO).
Below is a collection of collateral that discusses how Silver Peak can be deployed effectively with EMC backup and replication solutions, such as SRDF/A, SRDF/AR, MirrorView, and Legato. Registration is required only once.
