Maintaining synchronized files across a distributed enterprise is challenging and costly. Many companies opt for centralized file servers to lower costs and improve management, but performance can suffer due to limited bandwidth and long distances between data centers and remote offices.
Silver Peak improves the performance of centralized file services (Microsoft CIFS, NFS, FTP, Apple File Services, and other file utilities) through:
- Data deduplication using Network Memory, which reduces the amount of data being transferred
- TCP and CIFS acceleration to minimize the chattiness of protocols for faster communications over a WAN
- QoS and Traffic shaping to alleviate congestion on shared WANs

This is a demonstration of Silver Peak VX virtual WAN optimization software accelerating remote file transfers (CIFS) between a data center and a remote branch office.

Users in branch offices and remote offices have traditionally had a difficult time accessing files stored in remote data centers. The Windows file system relies on CIFS/SMB a chatty protocol that performs poorly over the WAN. Silver Peak corrects CIFS chattiness, accelerating the transfer of data to the branch office or remote office. This document explains how Silver Peak enable centrally managed file services to dramatically improve branch office and remote office productivity.

Architecture design firm dwp has adopted a WAN optimisation system from Silver Peak to accelerate file transfers and reduce infrastructure costs by 80 percent. The platform, Virtual Acceleration Open Architecture (VXOA), is now able to speed up transfers of AutoCAD-based files from days to minutes. According to dwp, it now takes only a few minutes to transfer 1 GB of data across the distributed enterprise, which includes 12 locations across Asia Pacific and the Middle East. There was an urgent need for dwp to lower its operating expenditure (OPEX) costs, which soared dramatically due to an increase in bandwidth costs necessitated by poor network connectivity between its data centre located in Bangkok and the various branch offices. In addition, link costs and latency were the highest between Bahrain and Bangkok.
