Silver Peak Software added to NEC SDN Application Centre

Silver Peak Systems has joined NEC Corporation of America (NEC) to include its data acceleration software as part of NEC’s new Software-Defined Networking (SDN) Application Centre. The NEC SDN Application Centre focuses on solutions that address customers’ top-of-mind network concerns. Silver Peak software enables customers to accelerate individual workloads and applications beyond a single data centre with point-and-click simplicity.

When extending workloads and applications beyond a single data centre, customers must overcome wide area network (WAN) distance, quality and capacity challenges. By combining the power of SDN with virtual WAN optimisation software, Silver Peak enables customers to dissolve distance and accelerate individual workloads over the WAN using common virtual infrastructure management platforms like VMware vCentre, Citrix XenCentre, and Microsoft System Centre. This brings flexibility and cost savings to customers who want to deploy WAN optimisation without having to install new hardware or reconfiguring switches and routers.


“Silver Peak’s leadership in delivering software-based WAN optimisation is the perfect complement to NEC’s market-leading ProgrammableFlow Network Suite,” said Don Clark, director of business development, IT Platform Technologies, NEC Corporation of America. “Silver Peak virtual products plug into our new SDN Application Centre to give customers maximum flexibility and performance for extending business-critical applications across any distance.”

“Silver Peak’s software-defined approach to data acceleration allows any networking, storage, server, or compute administrator to quickly and easily accelerate any application over distance using the tools with which they are the most comfortable,” said David Hughes, founder and CTO of Silver Peak Systems. “By integrating Silver Peak virtual WAN acceleration with NEC’s ProgrammableFlow Network suite, customers can reap the benefits of WAN optimisation with point-and-click simplicity.”
