Santa Clara, Calif., December 18 , 2007 – Silver Peak Systems , a leading provider of scalable Wide Area Network (WAN) acceleration solutions, today announced that Godfrey & Kahn, a leading provider of legal and business counseling services, has selected Silver Peak NX appliances as a key enabler for the law firm’s server and storage centralization plans. By improving WAN bandwidth utilization and accelerating the performance of key applications across the WAN (like Interwoven and Citrix), Silver Peak has helped Godfrey & Kahn deliver fast and reliable access to centralized business information in a cost effective manner.
“We made a strategic decision to centralize a variety of key applications for cost, security, and manageability reasons,” said Tom Dressel, Director of Information Technology at Godfrey & Kahn. “Many of these applications did not work as well as we had hoped across the WAN. Silver Peak’s Quality of Service (QoS) and data reduction techniques made a huge difference, helping us to address these WAN performance challenges head-on.”
The Silver Peak solution is optimized to support high capacity WAN environments, delivering significantly more WAN capacity, local data store and TCP sessions than competitive WAN acceleration devices. Silver Peak offers the industry’s premier solution for disk based data reduction, Network Memory™ , which reduces over 95 percent of WAN traffic and ensures LAN-like application performance across the WAN by eliminating the transfer of duplicate data. Network Memory works on all enterprise applications, regardless of transport protocol (TCP, UDP, or proprietary) or latency requirements. As a result, Silver Peak is commonly used to accelerate a variety of business critical applications, including real-time data replication, remote backup, SQL, file, email, web, Voice over IP (VoIP), and streaming video.
