Silver Peak SD-WAN Deployment Guide

Prerequisites

This SD-WANWide Area Network Deployment Guide describes setting up a new generic environment, rather than migrating from an older release. You might experience different results in your environment.

Silver Peak SD-WANWide Area Network offers automated setup—simply plug in your devices and OrchestratorFormerly GMS. Silver Peak global management software. Manages, provisions, and monitors Silver Peak devices within a network. automatically builds the network. For extra performance, you can add BoostSilver Peak technology that accelerates, compresses, and deduplicates data when sending it through a tunnel..

The primary components of a Silver Peak Unity SD-WANWide Area Network are:

• Unity OrchestratorFormerly GMS. Silver Peak global management software. Manages, provisions, and monitors Silver Peak devices within a network. - Runs as a virtual machine on VMware ESX/ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V, Citrix XenServer, and the open source KVM hypervisor.
• EdgeConnect appliances
  • The EdgeConnect family scales to support everything from small branches to large data centers.
  • Available as hardware or software appliances (can be mixed and matched per requirements).
  • Hardware appliances are available as 1U rack-mountable appliances.
  • See the Hardware Reference Guide for more details on the hardware.
