Limited bandwidth, congestion, and latency due to distance make replicating data across a WAN or to the cloud challenging. This can increase WAN infrastructure costs and significantly impact your total cost of ownership (TCO) for offsite data protection and disaster recovery.
Silver Peak Velocity overcomes these impediments and complements leading disaster recovery products from Dell, EMC, HDS, NetApp, and others to help you:
- Meet Recovery Point Objectives (RPO)
- Increase geographic distances between data centers
- Reduce WAN bandwidth expenditures

Long-distance replication is essential to the protection of cloud services. But as The Software Company, a leading provider of IT Management Solutions, learned even the best replication solutions can struggle when moving data over long distance Internet connections. To meet their Recovery Point Objectives (RPO), The Software Company paired Silver Peak’sVelocity replication acceleration solution with NetApp SnapMirror. The result: the company can replicate over 200 GB of data across the United States in under 19 hours, safely and efficiently meeting their disaster recovery objectives.

Hitting the speed of light might be impossible, but don’t tell that to The Community Bank in Massachusetts. The local lending institution improved its EqualLogic replication times by 2,400 percent, dropping from a week-and-a-half to a matter of hours, all without purchasing additional bandwidth.

For Denali Alaskan Federal Credit Union (Denali) to expand its online banking services, enhancing its business continuity plan was a given. However, Denali’s wide area network (WAN) was insufficient for moving large amounts of data between the company’s main site in Anchorage and DR facility in Fairbanks. It was taking over eleven hours to replicate more than fifty gigabytes (GB) of data over the WAN — far too long for Denali’s IT team. Adding a new online banking system with up to ten times the data of the existing system would be impossible.
