WAN optimization
reduces the amount of traffic sent across
the WAN and delivers information locally
whenever possible. This improves the costs
associated with application delivery – from
staffing, infrastructure and facility costs
to expenditures in application software
and WAN bandwidth. In addition, WAN
optimization protects investments in business
critical applications by ensuring that they
meet end user performance objectives, and it minimizes risk of exposure by improving the
performance and reliability of data backup, replication and disaster recovery.
Below are some examples of how SIlver Peak customers have justified their investment in WAN optimization:
Reduce Bandwidth Expenditures
With WAN deduplication, Capgemini reduced over 75% of their WAN traffic between Arizona and Massachusetts. This enabled them to decommission an OC-3 connection, savings $12,000 per month in telco costs ($144,000 annually.) Download the Capgemini customer profile.
Switch to Lower Cost WAN Services
Toshiba moved to MPLS to get more bandwidth with lower monthly expenditures than private lines. But, packet loss and high latency on their MPLS network was preventing the company from fully utilizing this shared technology. Silver Peak eliminated Toshiba's packet loss issues and increased effective throughput across the company's global WAN. By helping Toshiba reap the full benefits of MPLS, Silver Peak delivered a 14-month ROI. Read Toshiba's interview in SearchStorage
Consolidate Data Centers
Linklaters implemented WAN optimization as part of a major data center consolidation project. By improving Citrix performance across the WAN, they moved from 6 global data centers to 4, saving the firm hundreds of thousands of dollars in annual infrastructure costs and operation expenditures.

Backup and Recover More Data
Finisar determined that WAN acceleration was essential to their disaster recovery plans. It enabled them to backup 13 remote locations nightly, and cut data center replication windows from 2 hours to 15 minutes. For Finisar, WAN acceleration minimized the company’s risk of exposure, which provided immeasurable value to the company. Download the Finisar customer profile, or read their interview in Infostor.
Eliminate Point Products
A global search engine and Software as a Service (SaaS) provider chose Silver Peak to eliminate bandwidth costs and improve IT operations. In the process, they also learned that they can lower hardware and maintenance costs by elimimating standalone solutions for IPSec and Quality of Service (QoS). With Silver Peak, these features come standard, and more importantly, are integrated with the company's leading WAN optimization technology. The result was a 6 month Return on Investment (ROI)!
