WAN Optimization ( Silver Peak Vs Riverbed)

 In today's world WAN optimisation is one of the critical pillar of the enterprise network and there are so many vendors working on the WAN optimization products. Cisco came with WAAS solution but not able to convince customers in the market. Riverbed and SilverPeak are the major leaders in the WAN optimization market.


Silver top’s WAN acceleration solution facilitates firms achieve the rewards of virtualization by means of overcoming network challenges that impact the overall performance of these packages throughout the WAN. extra especially, Silver height addresses latency, packet loss, and bandwidth demanding situations that cause digital packages (e.g. Citrix Xen App) and digital desktop Infrastructures (e.g. Citrix Xen computer, Microsoft computer Virtualization, and VMware VDI) to be unresponsive and/or unreliable across the WAN.

How does Silver height fluctuate from other WAN acceleration carriers with regards to optimising digital applications and computer systems?

Many WAN acceleration vendors, including Silver Peak, offer “basic” optimization techniques that can improve the performance of Citrix and VDI. These include standard compression algorithms (e.g. LZ) and well-established TCP acceleration techniques (e.g. adjustable window sizes and selective acknowledgements). 

However, that is where the similarities end. In addition to the above, Silver Peak provides the following capabilities that deliver a unique advantage in virtual environments:
  • Real-time Network Integrity
  • Integrated Quality of Service (QoS).
  • Real-time WAN reduplication.
  • Scale.
  • Real-time Encryption.
While different vendors offer tools for optimizing Citrix and VDI across the WAN, only Silver Peak offers the following: 
  • Real-time techniques for overcoming packet loss 
  • Integrated Quality of Service 
  • Low latency WAN reduplication 
  • Scalable appliances designed to support hundreds of thousands of simultaneous users. 
  • Real-time encryption By fixing bandwidth, latency and loss challenges across the WAN, Silver Peak improves the performance of all IP applications

Virtual Flexibility. Silver Peak offers the industry’s only multi-gigabit virtual WAN optimization solution and is the only WAN optimization solution to run on every major hypervisor. The software is available for immediate download and free trial via the Silver Peak software marketplace.
Industry-Leading. Silver Peak continues to lead the industry in WAN optimization capacity and performance. With the broadest portfolio of physical and virtual WAN optimization products, and support for up to 10 gig WAN environments, Silver Peak delivers the most cost-effective WAN optimization for branch offices, data centers, and the cloud.
Accelerate Any Application. Silver Peak’s WAN optimization products improve the performance of all enterprise and cloud applications, regardless of transport protocol or version. This is done all without the risk of corrupting data or altering application behavior. No plug-ins are required, which expedites deployment and saves both time and money.
Cloud-Ready. Silver Peak VX virtual WAN optimization appliances can be deployed directly within Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) offerings from Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and VMware vCloud Air. This allows enterprises to easily extend their WAN optimization deployment into the cloud.

The 10 reasons to switch to Silver Peak software are:
  1. You could be part of the $250 million installed-base of Riverbed Steelhead xx20 products up for refresh early next year.
  2. The life of the average Riverbed Steelhead hardware is three years, so increased cost is right around the corner.
  3. Riverbed customers can save up to 86% by switching to Silver Peak software.
  4. For example, Riverbed Steelhead EXA-560 costs $11,591 while Silver Peak VX software costs $1,675/yr.
  5. Silver Peak software is 10x faster than Riverbed’s Virtual Steelhead.
  6. Silver Peak software delivers more than two gigabits-per-second (Gbps) of optimized throughput.
  7. Silver Peak software supports all four major hypervisors from VMware, Microsoft, Citrix and KVM.
  8. Silver Peak offers a comprehensive portfolio of 12 virtual software products available for immediate download.
  9. All Silver Peak software downloads come with a 30-day free trial with full support.
  10. Virtual WAN optimization software is the fastest growing segment of the WAN optimization market.  According to the Dell’Oro Group, the virtual WAN optimization market will grow by 100% in 2013.
