Silver Peak NX Appliances

Silver Peak’s award winning NX appliances leverage a variety of real-time optimization techniques that are performed primarily at the network (IP) layer. This ensures maximum performance across the widest range of applications and WAN environments. These techniques include:

Network Acceleration

Silver Peak mitigates the impacts of latency across the WAN by using various protocol acceleration techniques, including the adjustment of TCP window sizes, selective TCP acknowledgements, and CIFS read-ahead and writebehinds. These tools help to overcome protocol chattiness that can otherwise prevent applications from working properly over long distances.

Network Integrity

Silver Peak is the only WAN optimization vendor to properly address packet delivery issues common to shared WAN technologies, such as MPLS, internet VPNs, and cloud. This is achieved using adaptive Forward Error Correction (FEC) and Packet Order Correction (POC) to rebuild lost and out-of-order packets in real-time, advanced Quality of Service (QoS) techniques to prioritize traffic, and granular traffic shaping policies to guarantee network resources.

Network Memory

Silver Peak’s patented solution for disk based WAN deduplication maximizes available WAN bandwidth across an enterprise. Network Memory inspects all traffic at the byte level and stores copies of content in high-capacity disk drives and SSDs. Advanced finger-printing techniques recognize repetitive patterns for local delivery, eliminating the transfer of duplicate data across the WAN for improved application performance and maximum WAN utilization. Cross-flow payload and header compression provide additional gains on first-time data transfers and non-repetitive traffic. Network Memory is the only deduplication solution that operates at the network layer, supporting all IP-based protocols and application versions (including SSL encrypted traffic).
