Silver Peak is also a Select member of Brocade's Developer Program. In joining this program, Silver Peak is committed to working with Brocade and other partners to ensure ongoing product compatibility and to create effective go-to-market tools for selling a joint Silver Peak / Brocade solution

CommVault - Faster Remote Backup and Recovery

CommVault's QiNetix software ensures high-performance data protection, universal availability and simplified management of complex storage networks. The combined Silver Peak/CommVault solution ensures faster and more reliable data backup across the WAN with minimal recovery times. 

Data Domain - Storage Deduplication

Data Domain® deduplication storage systems dramatically reduce the amount of disk storage needed to retain and protect enterprise data. By identifying redundant files and data as they are being stored, Data Domain systems provide a storage footprint that is 10x-30x smaller, on average, than the original data set.

Silver Peak optimizes the WAN for more efficient transfer of data between Data Domain systems.  In doing so, the combined Silver Peak / Data Domain solution lowers both WAN and storage costs for a compelling ROI.

Double-Take - Real-time Replication and Failover

Double-Take® Software provides leading data replication and failover solutions that enable enterprises to protect business-critical data. Over half of the Fortune 500 companies trust Double-Take for data protection and application availability.

Silver Peak complements Double-Take by accelerating replication and recovery across a Wide Area Network (WAN). By delivering 20x aggregate performance improvements, Silver Peak also increases the reliability of these critical business processes.  The combined Silver Peak/Double-Take solution ensures maximum data accessibility with minimal exposure to risk. 

EMC - Data Center Storage and Replication

EMC® Corporation is a world leader in products, services, and solutions for information management and storage.

Silver Peak is working with EMC to create a blueprint for data center storage and replication. Silver Peak accelerates EMC's SRDF and Legato software to ensure fast and reliable backup, replication, and recovery across a WAN. By working together, Silver Peak and EMC facilitate storage consolidation projects and ensure better business continuity.

EqualLogic (Dell) - Secure Backup and Replication

EqualLogic® manufactures high performance, fault tolerant iSCSI Storage Area Network (SAN) arrays that enable businesses to realize the benefits of consolidated, self-managing storage.

However, replication and backup times can be stretched beyond acceptable ranges when doing SAN to SAN replication over a slow Wide Area Network. Silver Peak overcomes WAN limitations to deliver a 5x-50x (80-98%) performance improvement with EqualLogic's for SAN to SAN replication, while protecting all traffic with full 128 bit AES encryption. When EqualLogic is deployed in conjunction with Silver Peak, enterprises improve the reliability of network backups, while dramatically accelerating data recovery.

HDS - Asynchronous Replication

Silver Peak improves the performance and reliability of HDS' asynchronous replication solutions, which include Truecopy and Hitachi Universal Replicator (HUR).  This is achieved by deduping this traffic to maximize bandwidth efficiency, and by overcoming latency and loss in the WAN, which can adversely impact the behavior of these applications.

Network Appliance - Network Backup, Replication, and Recovery

NetApp™ offers data protection solutions that simplify backup and recovery tasks and reduce data storage requirements.

Silver Peak compliments NetApp's SnapVault® and SnapMirror® products by reducing transfer times, maximizing WAN bandwidth utilization, and reducing packet loss and delivery errors.  By ensuring secure and reliable data backup and recovery, NetApp and Silver Peak help enterprises to protect sensitive data. 

Symantec - Volume Replication

Symantec™ is a global leader in providing software, appliances, and services that assure the security, availability, and integrity of business information.

Veritas Volume Replicator (VVR) is a key platform within the Symantec portfolio that provides a world-class foundation for continuous data replication, enabling rapid and reliable recovery of critical applications at remote recovery sites. Silver Peak improves the performance and reliability of VVR environments by reducing transfer times, minimizing the amount of data sent across the WAN, and ensuring reliable data replication in the face of network latency and loss.

AlterPoint - Automated Network Management

AlterPoint develops open network management solutions designed to support today’s multi-dimensional, multi-vendor networks. The Silver Peak /AlterPoint joint solution provides customers with seamless integration of the market’s most scalable WAN Acceleration technology with the ability to automate, analyze and optimize network change, compliance, security and equipment life cycles.

Apposite - WAN Emulation

Apposite Technologies makes it easy to test the performance of applications over the Wide Area Network by offering high-precision network emulation appliances.

IBM - Collaboration Software and Value Added Services

IBM® is a leader in the invention, development and manufacture of computer systems, software, storage systems and microelectronics.  In addition, the company is a worldwide leader in professional services and consulting.

Silver Peak addresses many of the challenges associated with deploying IBM's Lotus Notes/Domino, Websphere, and Clearcase across a WAN.  Through data reduction, latency/loss mitigation, and QoS, Silver Peak improves server-to-server and client-to-server interactions in IBM application environments. 

Silver Peak also provides a robust WAN acceleration platform that complements the various professional services offered by IBM, including managed WAN services, security/compliance auditing, and server and storage centralization projects.
