Silver Peak Systems Announces New Support for EMC Smarts IP Availability Manager and Performance Manager

SANTA CLARA, CA, Mar 24 (MARKET WIRE) --
Silver Peak Systems, the leader in scalable Wide Area Network (WAN)
acceleration, today announced new support between the company's NX
appliances and EMC Smarts IP Availability Manager and Performance
Manager. By deploying Silver Peak's WAN acceleration devices in
conjunction with EMC's automated root-cause analysis and impact assessment
tools, enterprises now have better visibility into both the storage and
WAN environments. Working together, the solutions simplify device
management, while lowering the operational costs associated with ongoing
infrastructure troubleshooting.

NX appliances are the industry's premier platform for scalable WAN
acceleration. They use real-time network optimization techniques to fix
bandwidth, latency, and packet loss problems inherent in most WAN
environments. In doing so, Silver Peak NX appliances optimize the
performance of all IP applications across the WAN, including EMC
Symmetrix(R) Remote Data Facility (SRDF)(TM) and other replication
solutions. By deploying in conjunction with Smarts, EMC customers can
proactively manage and monitor a Silver Peak-enabled WAN, including
centralized inventory management and rapid problem resolution through
event correlation.

"The WAN provides a unique intersection between storage devices and the
underlying network infrastructure," said Jeff Aaron, vice president of
marketing at Silver Peak. "By deploying Silver Peak's NX appliances in
conjunction with EMC Smarts, we are bringing the two worlds closer
together for better end-to-end visibility and control."

"EMC Smarts is widely recognized for its market leading IT management
automation software, simplifying root-cause analysis and impact assessment
across highly complex virtual and physical domains," said Bob Quillin,
EMC's Senior Director of Product Marketing, Resource Management Software.
"With EMC Smarts IP Availability Manager and Performance Manager operating
in conjunction with Silver Peak NX appliances, we're taking this
leadership one step further -- helping customers manage and ensure
consistent and reliable application performance for critical replication,
disaster recovery, and distributed applications across their WAN
environments."

Silver Peak's NX appliances and Global Management System (GMS) are
available through the EMC Select Program. The EMC Select Program helps
customers easily acquire all the required components of an information
infrastructure solution -- directly from EMC. Silver Peak offers the only
WAN optimization appliance currently qualified by EMC to support SRDF(R)/A
and SRDF/DM data replication in both Ethernet and FCIP environments,
ensuring end-to-end interoperability across a wide range of enterprise
networks.
