Silver Peak’s position in the Magic Quadrant closes out a banner year that included being named to the Wall Street Journal's list of top 50 venture backed companies, broad international expansion, and continued data center partnerships with Avaya, Dell, EMC, Hitachi Data Systems (HDS), HP, NetApp, and Xiotech. Leading customers from around the globe have deployed Silver Peaks award-winning NX and VX appliances, and the recently released VRX data center class virtual appliances, which scale from Mbps to Gbps of WAN capacity. The products are designed to optimize all IP traffic regardless of transport protocol and application version.
According to the report, "WAN optimization is about improving the performance of business applications over WAN connections. Most networks carry a variety of traffic types of differing characteristics and importance. Many organizations are striving to manage this traffic to optimize the response times of critical applications and reduce costs, given that bandwidth continues to represent a significant proportion of operating expenditure for wide-area data networks. But the cost of bandwidth isn't the only consideration—matching the allocation of WAN resources to business needs is also important. And as resources are increasingly centralized, minimizing the effect of latency on application response times is becoming a critical requirement. In addition, virtualization and new application environments such as cloud computing and Web services can put an unexpected strain on the network."
"2010 has been a year of upward momentum across the board for Silver Peak. Revenues, customers, channel partners, technology breakthroughs, new product introductions, and global expansion—all evidence of our ability to deliver in a rapidly changing market segment."
– Larry Cormier, SVP, Marketing, Silver Peak
