WAXIE Chooses Silver Peak to Make Offsite Replication Shine Across WAN
Silver Peak WAN Optimization Increases Performance of NetApp SnapMirror Replication by 310% and Improves Bandwidth Utilization by 72%
(firmenpresse) - SAN DIEGO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 08/03/11 -- Commercial and industrial sanitary supplies leader WAXIE Sanitary Supply has deployed class wide area network (WAN) optimization leader to enhance the performance of its SnapMirror implementation over the company's high-latency, high-loss WAN. With Silver Peak deployed, WAXIE is now meeting its recovery point and recovery time objectives (RPO/RTO) and has avoided a costly upgrade of its infrastructure.
WAXIE faced the challenge of ever-increasing data storage traversing a constrained, lower-quality multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) WAN. Rather than purchase additional bandwidth or upgrade to a more expensive WAN, WAXIE looked to value-added reseller Bear Data Solutions for recommendations. Following a thorough evaluation, WAXIE deployed the Silver Peak NX-series WAN optimization appliances. With Silver Peak enabled, WAXIE is increasing bandwidth utilization by 72% via data reduction, and is achieving a 310% performance improvement of large file-set transfer times using NetApp SnapMirror. Back-up and data replication times between San Diego, Calif. and Mesa, Ariz. have been reduced from as much as five days to a few hours.
"As our business continues to grow, so do our data and application usage requirements across the network, making it more difficult to meet RPO/TRO goals with the same WAN infrastructure," said Aaron Gerraughty, MIS director for WAXIE Sanitary Supply. "Silver Peak was a great solution for us, providing instant integration with our NetApp SnapMirror implementation and helping us to avoid increased bandwidth charges."
Silver Peak's award winning WAN optimization appliances seamlessly fit into any enterprise network. Silver Peak has the broadest portfolio of physical and virtual WAN optimization appliances that range from Mbps to Gbps, and now multiple Gbps with the company's recently announced NX-10K -- the highest capacity WAN optimization appliance on the market.
Customers like WAXIE choose Silver Peak because of unique features that include Network Acceleration to overcome WAN latency, Network Integrity to correct packet delivery issues and intelligently allocate WAN resources, and Network Memory™ to maximize WAN bandwidth utilization. The result is up to 10x cost savings that can come from decommissioning existing private-line connections and avoiding investments in larger-capacity WANs and bandwidth upgrades.
