Vancouver School Board Standardizes on Silver Peak for Maximum WAN Achievement

SANTA CLARA, CA, Jun 16 (MARKET WIRE) --
Silver Peak Systems, the leader in scalable Wide Area Network (WAN)
acceleration, today announced that the Vancouver School Board in British
Columbia, Canada, home of the 2010 Winter Olympic Games, has selected
Silver Peak's NX appliances to optimize WAN performance across all 120
schools in the district. The Vancouver School Board is a large
metropolitan public school district that provides education programs to
over 100,000 youth and adult learners. With Silver Peak's real-time
network optimization techniques the School Board is building an
infrastructure to support the concept of a single campus across the city,
providing a virtualized desktop experience to all students and staff as
well as centralized file storage. In the long term, this saves the
district hundreds of thousands of dollars in IT support costs and
software licensing and provides the most sustainable solution in a time
of financial difficulty.

"We chose Silver Peak over other major WAN acceleration vendors based on
their unique ability to support our flexible computing strategy," said
Stephen Lamb, CIO at Vancouver School Board. "Only Silver Peak overcomes
bandwidth, latency and loss challenges that adversely impact real-time
applications and has the flow capacity needed to support thousands of
simultaneous users. From an infrastructure perspective Silver Peak makes
it possible for us to move to a single campus, delivering services to our
learning community regardless of their geography. This makes the idea of
'anytime, anywhere learning' a reality for the students of Vancouver."

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, 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.
