Silver Peak Provides 100x Faster Access to the Amazon Cloud
SANTA CLARA, Calif. --(Business Wire)--
Silver Peak (News - Alert) Systems, the leader in accelerating data
over distance, today announced that its Virtual
Acceleration Open Architecture (VXOA) software in collaboration with
Amazon Web Services (News - Alert) (AWS) delivers cloud-ready data
acceleration for enterprise customers. Silver Peak software enables
AWS users to accelerate
data moving to and from AWS data
centers, drastically improving data
transfer efficiency by overcoming common network challenges such as
limited WAN bandwidth, distance and network quality.
Whether backing up data to the cloud or accessing cloud-hosted
applications and services, Silver Peak makes AWS fast and affordable.
AWS data centers can be hundreds-to-thousands of miles away from a
company's core data center. Accessing those data centers over
lower-quality Internet connections can result in poor application
performance and slow data transfers. Silver Peak software deployed in
the Amazon cloud saves customers thousands-of-dollars every month in AWS
expenses by eliminating over 50% of cloud trafic and overcoming the
adverse effects of distance and network quality. With Silver Peak,
Amazon customers can migrate data to the cloud quicker than ever with
20x more throughput-reducing the largest data transfers from days to
hours.
"The benefits of cloud computing and being able to replicate data to the
cloud can be negated by the WAN bottleneck and lower-quality public
Internet connections," said Vivian Xu, director of cloud and
virtualization product management for Silver Peak. "Silver Peak software
installs quickly and easily to accelerate data to and from the Amazon
cloud and make it seem like your cloud-based applications are hosted
right next door."
The Silver Peak Amazon
Machine Image (AMI) in the Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)
enables AWS users to accelerate traffic between AWS storage, AWS hosted
applications and services, and on-premise data centers. The Silver Peak
AMI accelerates all data and applications, including Web and replication
traffic. The software puts full design flexibility and control in the
hands of enterprise users, enabling them to more quickly and
cost-effectively meet their business objectives. Silver Peak supports
all major hypervisors, and delivers the highest-capacity virtual
appliances available on the market today (gigabit and
multi-gigabit-per-second). This avoids vendor lock-in and ensures that
enterprises can choose the virtual data center and cloud offering that
is most suitable for their business needs.
