SANTA CLARA, CA, May 27 (MARKET WIRE) --
Silver Peak Systems, the leader in scalable Wide Area Network (WAN)
acceleration, today announced that 66 Federal Credit Union, a leading not
for profit cooperative financial institution, has selected Silver Peak's
NX appliances for WAN acceleration. With Silver Peak's real-time network
optimization techniques, 66 Federal Credit Union has lowered IT costs and
improved employee productivity through faster information exchange over
their existing WAN infrastructure. In addition, the company is backing up
data faster and more reliably from its Symitar(TM) Episys(R) core
processing platform over a Silver Peak-enabled WAN.
"Poor WAN performance was jeopardizing our ability to communicate to and
from our data centers," said Marty O'Connell, Senior Vice President/Chief
Information Officer at 66 Federal Credit Union. "This was impacting our
day-to-day business functions and compromising our strategic disaster
recovery objectives. By overcoming these challenges, Silver Peak has
become a critical component of our IT infrastructure."
Silver Peak leverages a variety of real-time network optimization
techniques to maximize application performance across the WAN while
minimizing IT operational costs. These techniques include:
-- Network Acceleration to overcome WAN latency
-- Network Integrity to correct packet loss and WAN quality problems
-- Network Memory(TM) to maximize WAN bandwidth utilization
Silver Peak's unique network approach to WAN acceleration delivers
unprecedented scalability, including the highest effective throughput of
any WAN acceleration device. This makes Silver Peak ideal for large
enterprise networks and applications with high sustained data volumes.
Silver Peak optimizes every application that runs over IP, including file,
email, web, SQL, RDP, Voice over IP (VoIP), streaming video, Citrix,
Virtual Desktop Infrastructures (VDI), real-time data replication, and
remote backup. This provides the best Return on Investment (ROI) for WAN
acceleration.
Silver Peak is the only vendor to solve bandwidth, latency, and loss
issues in real-time, making shared networks (IP VPN and MPLS) perform
like private lines. Enterprises get cost effective bandwidth with high
throughput and predictable performance, making Silver Peak strategic to a
variety of business initiatives, from server centralization and storage
consolidation to real-time collaboration and disaster recovery.
