All rights reserved.www.silver-peak.comBusiness BenefitsAs the leader in scalable WAN acceleration, Silver Peak is critical to the following strategic IT initiatives: Branch Office Server and Storage Consolidation. Silver Peak makes it easier to accesscentralized resources across a WAN (including virtual servers). This helps enterprises put an endto server sprawl and the security, compliance, cost, and management headaches it entails. Disaster Recovery. Silver Peak improves the performance and reliability of offsite data replication,backup, and disaster recovery. This enables more data to be safely protected with faster recovery times. Real-time Communication and Information Sharing. The Silver Peak solution acceleratesperformance for all enterprise applications, from traditional file, email, web, and documentmanagement services to real-time applications that are notorious for performing poorly acrossa WAN, such as Citrix, SQL, Voice over IP (VoIP), and video.//NX appliances are deployed on both ends of a WAN link, typically next to the WAN router. Models range from theNX-2000 (2 Mbps / 6 Mbps WAN capacity) to the NX-9000 (1 Gbps WAN capacity), giving Silver Peak the widestrange of WAN acceleration appliances on the market today.//NX Series AppliancesAccelerate All Applications Security. Real-time AES encryption is used to protect all data stored on the NX appliances. Optional IPsecis available to protect data sent between appliances.// R esiliency. The Silver Peak NX appliances feature RAID with encrypted disk drives and redundant powersupplies with fail-to-wire network interfaces. For maximum resiliency, NX appliances can be deployedredundantly with failover and load balancing.Accelerate All WAN Links Transparency. Silver Peak NX appliances fit seamlessly into any enterprise environment. The appliancessupport a variety of different installation modes, including “in-line” and “out-of-path” using Policy Based Routing(PBR), Web Cache Coordination Protocol (WCCP), or Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP).// Scale. NX appliances lead the industry in LAN capacity, WAN capacity, and simultaneous sessions (i.e. TCPflows) supported. This makes the Silver Peak solution ideal for enterprises with big WAN links, large volumesof data, and/or many distributed locations.Accelerate All LocationsSilver Peak’s award-winning family of WAN acceleration appliances, the NX series, were built to satisfy the stringentrequirements of today’s enterprise. Below are some specific enterprise-class qualities:Accelerate All LocationsSilver Peak ProductsThe “Best Current Offering”

Network Acceleration: Silver Peak mitigates the impacts of latencyacross the WAN by using various TCP acceleration techniques, like adjustablewindow sizing and selective acknowledgements, as well as CIFS accelerationtechniques, such as read-aheads and write-behinds. These tools help toovercome inherent chattiness that can otherwise hamper applicationperformance across a WAN.Secure Content Architecture : Silver Peak keeps enterprise data securewith its Secure Content Architecture.
