There are inherent limitations associated with Wide Area Networks that make it difficult to deliver business critical applications to remote and branch offices. Bandwidth is limited and costly to provide, latency occurs when communication is taking place over long geographic distances, and network congestion can lead to packet loss. The back-off mechanisms incorporated within TCP, coupled with the “chatty” behavior of common application protocols like CIFS further exacerbate the situation. The result is limited effective throughput and poor application response time in many enterprise WAN environments.
Optimize all Enterprise Applications
Silver Peak is the only vendor to address bandwidth, latency and loss characteristics in real-time to improve the performance of all enterprise applications. By working at the network layer, Silver Peak is application 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.
Unlike other WAN acceleration vendors, Silver Peak does not bypass any IP traffic. 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 proofed. 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.
- Scalability - 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.
