The Silver Peak solution was designed from the ground up to support the scalability needs of large enterprises, while simultaneously remaining effective for smaller deployments. Unique features that ensure enterprise-grade scalability include:

Throughput. Silver Peak offers the highest WAN capacity of any WAN acceleration solution. By delivering data reduction, compression, QoS, and latency/loss mitigation at high WAN speeds (up to 500 Mbps in a single appliance), Silver Peak is ideal for large data center applications.
Storage Capacity. Silver Peak leverages disk based data reduction for superior memory retention and performance over time. The NX series appliances offer more than 10x the local data store as alternative products, supporting up to 7 TB in a single appliance.
No Flow Limits. The Silver Peak solution is not limited by the number of transport-layer (TCP, UDP, RTP) flows in a network, as is the case with alternative solutions.
Hardware Acceleration. Silver Peak leverages dedicated hardware acceleration to ensure that encryption does not adversely impact scalability and performance.
Application Breadth. Silver Peak is the only WAN acceleration vendor to operate at the network layer of the ISO stack, providing data reduction, compression, and other techniques across all enterprise applications, including SQL, VoIP,and video.

NX Series Appliances

Silver Peak NX Series appliances lead the industry in performance, scalability, and security. They seamlessly fit into any enterprise network, sitting between network resources and the WAN infrastructure that is used to connect them to remote users. Deployment of the NX Series requires absolutely no client, server, or application reconfiguration.

NX Series appliances use Silver Peak's patent-pending Network Memory™ technology to significantly reduce the amount of data traversing the WAN and ensure LAN-like application performance. In addition, Silver Peak appliances leverage a variety of latency and loss mitigation techniques, compression, and Quality of Service (QoS) to improve application usability across a distributed enterprise. The result is order of magnitude performance improvements, reduced IT costs, and increased management and security.

Global Management System

Global Management System (GMS) is a powerful platform for the deployment, management, and monitoring of a Silver Peak-enabled Wide Area Network (WAN). GMS gives IT managers detailed visibility into all aspects of application delivery across a distributed enterprise, including WAN performance statistics, application analysis, and tools for the configuration and management of Silver Peak NX Series appliances. With Silver Peak, enterprises can centrally deliver business critical applications in a secure, scalable, and cost effective manner.
