With Silver Peak, WAN performance is no longer an obstacle to data replication, network backup, and disaster recovery. Silver Peak's advanced WAN deduplication enables more data to be protected across the WAN without adding costly bandwidth. Silver Peak's Network Integrity and Network Acceleration features ensure that latency and packet loss do not adversely impact backup and recovery processes
Silver Peak enables enterprises to achieve the following benefits:
- Reduce Recovery Time Objectives (RTO)
- Shrink Recovery Point Objectives (RPO)
- Increase geographic distances between data centers
- Reduce WAN bandwidth expenditures
Disaster recovery can be particularly difficult to achieve across a Wide Area Network (WAN). This is primarily due to the following:
- Large volumes of data.
Even with deduplication, replication and backup processes involve the transfer of large amounts of data across the WAN. This can require a significant amount of WAN bandwidth.
- High Sustained Throughput.
Data replication and backup often require large amounts of data to be transferred continuously (with no interruption.) WAN latency and packet loss can disrupt this process, resulting in missed RPO.
Protect More Data, Using Less Bandwidth
Silver Peak increases the performance and reliability of backup, replication, and recovery while reducing IT costs.
- Improve data transfer times.
Silver Peak’s Network Memory recognizes repetitive information and delivers it locally. In addition, silver Peak provides enhancements to accelerate TCP and CIFS, reducing the impact of latency on data transfers.
- Maximize WAN efficiency.
Network Memory can reduce as much as 95% of WAN traffic by eliminating the transfer of duplicate information. Network memory fingerprints at the byte level, enabling Silver Peak to detect and eliminate repetitive patterns even when the backup/replication solution is performing similar functions at the block level.
In addition, Silver Peak leverages advanced compression techniques to further reduce the amount of WAN bandwidth required for backup and replication.
- Reduce packet loss and delivery errors.
Silver Peak reduces the impact of both packet loss and jitter that occurs when router links are oversubscribed and drop or re-order packets. Adaptive Forward Error Correction (FEC) for example, can reduce effective packet loss by an order of magnitude.
- Ensure data security.
Silver Peak NX appliances use hardware-based AES encryption to protect network traffic and local content, ensuring that all data is protected from unauthorized access at all times.
- Cost effective scalability.
Silver Peak can support a full 500 Mbps WAN capacity in a single NX appliance, with several variants available that support over 45 Mbps. This enables enterprises to cost effectively support data center to data center links, as well as network-based backups across many remote locations
The SIlver Peak solution cost effectively scales to support large data center environments, delivering the most LAN and WAN side throughput for DR environments. Only Silver Peak performs optimizes both TCP and UDP traffic, improving data transfer times and maximizing WAN efficiency across all backup and replication solutions.
