Santa Clara, Calif., December 28, 2009 – Silver Peak Systems , the leader in data center class Wide Area Network (WAN) optimization, today announced that Alumicor Limited, a leading manufacturer of architectural aluminum building products, has selected Silver Peak’s NX appliances to improve the sharing of design images across the company’s WAN. By optimizing the performance of AutoCAD and other key business applications across the WAN, Alumicor has improved collaboration amongst its distributed employees, resulting in faster and more economical design and manufacturing.
“Alumicor requires a WAN optimization solution that works seamlessly across a wide range of enterprise applications,” said Peter Moon, senior technology consultant for Alumicor. “Silver Peak’s unique ‘application agnostic’ approach to WAN optimization stands out from the pack, delivering immediate and lasting value for all IP WAN traffic.”
“We are seeing up to 80% bandwidth reduction on our WAN depending on the type of application and traffic mix,” said Bob Adams, Manager of IT at Alumicor. “When the Silver Peak WAN acceleration appliances are bypassed, there is a noticeable drop in performance that is instantly recognized by all our users. Peter’s recommendation couldn’t have been more appropriate for Alumicor.”
