The Masergy-Silver Peak collaboration underpins Masergy’s relentless commitment to intelligent hybrid networking and its debut into the fully managed SD-WAN services segment, a fast growing market that IDC estimates will reach $6 billion by 2020.
Unlike SD-WAN solution providers that focus simply on allowing enterprises to leverage Internet connectivity, Silver Peak delivers a level of broadband quality of service that increases the reliability and security customers expect from a private WAN. With the Silver Peak Unity EdgeConnect SD-WAN solution, enterprises can improve the resiliency of their WANs, dynamically balance traffic across multiple paths and accelerate application performance over any source of connectivity. In addition, Silver Peak offers customers the option to add a WAN acceleration performance pack, Unity Boost, to further accelerate application performance over distances.
