Accelerate your industry-specific or custom application over the wide area network (WAN). Silver Peak compensates for the underlying WAN problems that disrupt any application operating over distance, deduplicating as much as 80 percent of the data being sent over the WAN. Screens refresh faster and more data can be moved over longer distances. With Silver Peak, IT can deliver a more responsive, more consistent user experience for industry-specific or custom applications even at the most remote offices.
Industry-specific applications are most effective when available to users regardless of their location. But as organizations grow, so too does the distance separating users and servers. More time is needed to transfer data, fulfill queries, or refresh dashboards and web front-ends. Network congestion only compounds the problem, causing dropped and out-of-order packets, which further degrades application performance.
Most approaches to data acceleration are unable to improve the performance of industry-specific and custom applications. Specific plug-ins are not available to accelerate the application. Many industry-specific and custom applications run over proprietary protocols, which cannot be optimized by application acceleration techniques.
Silver Peak, though, can optimize any IP-based application. Industry-specific or custom applications improve by 80 percent and more. More specifically, Silver Peak applies these technologies to addressing the following challenges:
- Bandwidth – Silver Peak byte-level deduplication eliminates the majority of the redundant data sent by vertical applications across the WAN. The first time the application sends data it is fingerprinted and compressed by Silver Peak. Subsequent requests are fulfilled by the local Silver Peak instance.
- Latency – Silver Peak mitigates latency enabling vertical applications to operate more efficiently over distance. TCP Acceleration includes windows scaling, selective acknowledgements, and HighSpeed TCP. CIFS Acceleration includes CIFS read-ahead, CIFS write-behind, and CIFS metadata optimizations. Latency is also reduced through packet coalescing, which re-packages multiple smaller packets into a single larger one, and through Dynamic Path Control, which selects the fastest path to a remote location.
- Congestion – Silver Peak makes vertical application performance more predictable across congested WANs. Lost packets are reconstituted in real-time at the far end of a WAN link, avoiding delays that come with multiple round-trip retransmissions. Out-of-order packets are resequenced, avoiding retransmission and processing delays that occur when packets arrive out-of-order.
Silver Peak protects data in-flight between locations with an Accelerated IPSec virtual private network (VPN) running AES-256, the enterprise standard for data encryption. Data-at-rest within Silver Peak instances is also encrypted with AES. End-to-end encryption is provided by SSL/TLS.
Silver Peak offers the most scalable and cost-effective data acceleration software for connecting data centers, remote offices and the cloud. You can download and deploy it as a free, self-service trial in just 20 minutes or contact us to see how Silver Peak can help your organization.
