Silver Peak develops data center class network appliances and management tools that maximize WAN performance while minimizing WAN costs. The company’s unique network approach to WAN optimization delivers unprecedented scalability and flexibility, making Silver Peak’s WAN optimization solution a strategic enabler for key IT initiatives, including data center consolidation, data migration, disaster recovery, server centralization, and global application / desktop virtualization.
Virtual Acceleration Open Architecture (VXOA) is Silver Peak’s award winning WAN optimization software. It is the core software for our NX family of physical appliances, our VX and VRX family of virtual appliances, and the foundation for our integration with 3rd party network and storage devices such as the Avaya 4134 Secure Router. VXOA revolutionizes enterprise networking by enabling WAN optimization to be easily and cost effectively deployed everywhere across an enterprise – not just on a select few links. In addition, the investment in WAN optimization can easily grow with changing end user requirements. With VXOA, ubiquitous WAN optimization is finally a reality.
Silver Peak’s award winning NX appliances are standalone devices that seamlessly fit into any enterprise network, sitting between network resources and the WAN infrastructure that is used to connect them to remote users. Deployment of NX appliances requires absolutely no client, server, or application reconfiguration.
NX appliances use Silver Peak's patent-pending Network Memory™ technology to significantly reduce the amount of data traversing the WAN and ensure LAN-like application performance. In addition, Silver Peak appliances leverage Network Acceleration techniques to overcome WAN latency, and Network Integrity features to mitigate the effects of packet loss across the WAN. Robust Quality of Service (QoS) policies ensure applications are prioritized appropriately and given adequate network resources. The result is order of magnitude performance improvements, reduced IT costs, and increased management and security.
VX appliances are software-only versions of NX appliances. They support all the same Network Acceleration, Network Integrity (including QoS), and Network Memory™ features as their NX counterparts, but in a virtualized manner. By deploying Silver Peak’s VX family of appliances on industry standard servers, enterprises reap all the cost and flexibility benefits of server virtualization.
Silver Peak’s VRX appliances are virtual WAN optimization devices designed specifically for data center-to-data center initiatives, such as data replication, data migration, and disaster recovery. They deliver the highest end-to-end throughput of any virtual WAN optimization device and are proven compatible with all leading storage solutions.
Global Management System (GMS) is a powerful platform for the deployment, management, and monitoring of a Silver Peak-enabled Wide Area Network (WAN). GMS gives IT managers detailed visibility into all aspects of application delivery across a distributed enterprise, including WAN performance statistics, application analysis, and tools for the configuration and management of Silver Peak NX Series appliances. With Silver Peak, enterprises can centrally deliver business critical applications in a secure, scalable, and cost effective manner.
Silver Peak offers perpetual and subscription based pricing options that facilitate the deployment of WAN optimization while simul¬taneously ensuring that an investment in Silver Peak is protected against changing IT requirements.
