SANTA CLARA, Calif., Jan. 23, 2012 — Silver Peak Systems, the leader in data center class wide area network (WAN) optimization, has been named to CRN’s 2012 Data Center 100 list , an annual list recognizing channel-friendly technology vendors that increase data center efficiency in an environmentally and economically friendly manner.
Silver Peak’s broad portfolio of physical and virtual WAN optimization solutions are designed for the rigors of data center deployments, providing industry leading capacity and delivering 20-times more end-to-end throughput than competing virtual WAN optimization offerings. This makes Silver Peak WAN optimization both cost effective — in many instances saving enterprises more than 50% in ongoing bandwidth expenditures — and energy efficient, even when supporting high-capacity data center applications.
"Silver Peak continues to be recognized for our innovation and leadership in improving network performance and efficiency for today’s evolving data centers," said Larry Cormier, senior vice president of worldwide marketing for Silver Peak. "The growth of ‘big data’, cloud-based infrastructures and the resulting need to access data-over-distance are placing more stringent demands on the wide area network. As the leader in data center class WAN optimization, Silver Peak is best-positioned to address these challenges through our exclusive Silver Peak Champions channel partner network."
