2 DATA CENTER CLASS WAN OPTIMIZATION Today s major IT initiatives all have one thing in common: they require a well performing Wide Area Network (WAN). However, many enterprise WANs lack the bandwidth, quality, and performance over distance to support these projects effectively. Silver Peak s WAN Optimization solution overcomes network performance challenges, enabling enterprises to substantially improve application performance across a WAN while moving more data over longer distances. In addition, Silver Peak lowers ongoing telecom expenditures by avoiding bandwidth upgrades and enabling cost-effective shared networks, like MPLS and cloud, to perform like higher-quality lines. Silver Peak s unique network approach to WAN optimization delivers a true data center class of product, which is a strategic enabler for key IT projects like data center consolidation, data replication, cloud computing, server/storage centralization, unified communications, and virtualization. Specific Silver Peak advantages include: Virtual Flexibility. Silver Peak provides the industry s only Gbps virtual WAN optimization appliance, the industry s only free fully functional WAN optimization appliance, and the only virtual WAN optimization products capable of supporting every major hypervisor. Highest Capacity. Silver Peak is the only vendor with both physical and virtual appliances that easily scale from Mbps to Gbps of WAN capacity with support for hundreds of thousands of simultaneous sessions. Optimization of all IP traffic. Only Silver Peak optimizes all enterprise traffic regardless of transport protocol or application version, with no risk of corrupting data or altering application behavior. Silver Peak optimizes any application, in any location, on any type of WAN. For these reasons, Silver Peak is the WAN optimization vendor of choice for leading enterprises around the world, and a recognized leader by industry analysts like Gartner and Forrester.

3 VXOA: A FOUNDATION FOR UNIVERSAL WAN OPTIMIZATION At the core of Silver Peak s WAN optimization solution is the company s Virtual Acceleration Open Architecture (VXOA), a combination of software, tools, and pricing options that enable enterprises to deploy WAN optimization easily and costeffectively. Specific VXOA features include: Complete Hardware Independence With VXOA, Silver Peak has completely separated the benefits of WAN optimization from underlying hardware requirements. No custom processors or dedicated cards are required to enhance performance and security. For the first time ever, virtual WAN optimization appliances perform as well as physical appliances from the smallest branch office to the largest data center. It has never been easier, or more cost-effective, to deploy WAN optimization across an enterprise. Robust Network Optimization Techniques VXOA leverages Silver Peak s award winning network optimization techniques, to solve common bandwidth, latency, and WAN quality challenges without requiring application plugins. These techniques include: Network Memory to Increase Available Bandwidth: Each Silver Peak appliance inspects WAN traffic at the byte level and stores copies of content in high-capacity disk drives. Advanced fingerprinting techniques recognize repetitive patterns for real-time deduplication. Network Memory operates at the network layer and supports all IP-based protocols including TCP, UDP, and RTP. Network Acceleration to Extend Distance: TCP and other protocol acceleration techniques minimize the effects of latency on application performance and significantly improve application response time across the WAN. SILVER PEAK S VXOA ENABLES ENTERPRISES TO EASILY AND COST-EFFECTIVELY DEPLOY WAN OPTIMIZATION ANYWHERE ALL APPLICATIONS VXOA SOFTWARE Extend distance Fix congestion / packet loss Increase bandwidth HYPERVISOR HARDWARE * : Disk, CPU, RAM VX Network Blades Standard Server Storage Cloud Hardware NX * Sample 3 rd party hardware options listed; many more available. REAL-TIME NETWORK optimization techniques solve common bandwidth, latency, and WAN quality challenges without requiring application plugins.

4 SILVER PEAK DELIVERS a full range of physical and virtual appliances that scale from small remote offices to the largest data centers. Network Integrity to Fix Loss: Adaptive Forward Error Correction (FEC) and Packet Order Correction (POC) compensate for the loss inherent in shared infrastructure like MPLS, cloud, and IP VPN. Silver Peak employs a variety of Quality of Service (QoS) and traffic-shaping techniques to optimize traffic handling, including advanced queuing, scheduling, and standards-based packet marking. Silver Peak appliances can honor existing QoS tags or create new policies for granular QoS control. Flexible Pricing With VXOA, Silver Peak offers the following pricing options that make it easy to deploy new WAN optimization solutions and cost-effective to grow an existing WAN optimization deployment: Subscription: (i.e. pay as you go ). Customers can license Silver Peak s virtual WAN optimization products and support services on an annual basis, avoiding up-front capital expenditures Perpetual: Customers can purchase Silver Peak products outright, choosing the maintenance package that is best for their individual needs. Enterprises can select the ideal pricing model for their environment by appliance, by office, by region, or across an entire company. In addition, Silver Peak customers can upgrade to higher-capacity devices at any time when network and business demands dictate. This pay as you grow model delivers maximum investment protection with minimal headaches to ensure WAN optimization keeps pace with evolving business needs. With Silver Peak, it has never been easier and more cost-effective to capitalize on the benefits of WAN optimization! SILVER PEAK PRODUCT OVERVIEW VXOA powers all Silver Peak virtual and physical appliances, which include: NX Appliances: Silver Peak s award-winning NX appliances are standalone physical devices that 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 NX appliances requires absolutely no client, server, or application reconfiguration.

5 VX Appliances: VX appliances are software-only virtual machines that support Silver Peak s full suite of VXOA features. By deploying Silver Peak s VX products on industry-standard hardware, enterprises reap all the cost and flexibility benefits of server virtualization. Appliances: Silver Peak s appliances are virtual WAN optimization devices designed specifically for data center deployment. They deliver the highest end-to-end throughput and simultaneous sessions of any virtual WAN optimization device and are proven compatible with all leading storage solutions and data center switching devices. By delivering 20x the performance at 1/3 the cost of competing solutions, the is changing the way enterprises look at data center WAN optimization. Global Management System (GMS): GMS is a powerful platform for the deployment, management, and monitoring of a Silver Peak enabled 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, VX, and appliances. With Silver Peak, enterprises can centrally deliver business-critical applications in a secure, scalable, and cost-effective manner.
