Santa Clara, Calif., February 2, 2009 – Silver Peak Systems , the leader in scalable Wide Area Network (WAN) acceleration,today announced that Monotype Imaging, a global provider of text imaging solutions, has selected Silver Peak NX appliances to optimize application performance between the company’s corporate facilities and branch offices. With Silver Peak’s WAN acceleration technology, Monotype Imaging is able to optimize all of its IP WAN traffic, making Silver Peak strategic to a variety of key initiatives like database management, disaster recovery, and inter-office collaboration.
“Monotype Imaging has been using WAN acceleration for several years with very positive results,” said Robert Klages, Director of IT at Monotype Imaging. “When our Riverbed WAN acceleration platform was discontinued, we decided to evaluate different WAN acceleration solutions versus blindly upgrading to that vendor’s newest hardware. We discovered that Silver Peak delivers the best performance across the widest range of applications, including file, email, SQL, remote backup, and IP telephony. By optimizing traffic that other vendors bypass, Silver Peak’s NX appliances provide Monotype Imaging with the best return on our WAN acceleration investment.”
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™ 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.
