Silver Peak virtual WAN Optimization Marketplace exceeds 10,000 downloads

SYDNEY, April 26, 2012. Demand for virtual WAN optimization continues to rise as Silver Peak Systems today announced its Virtual WAN Optimization Marketplace has exceeded 10,000 downloads.

The self-service marketplace, introduced just two months ago, provides anyone instant access to Silver Peak’s entire portfolio of virtual WAN optimization appliances, as well as step-by-step instruction for quick and easy deployment anywhere in the network and on all common hypervisors.

“The WAN optimization market is undergoing a fundamental transformation,” said Larry Cormier, senior vice president of worldwide marketing for Silver Peak. “The market has changed from a ‘branch office-in’ to a ‘data centre-out’ perspective, and virtualisation of data center class WAN optimization is the key technology for enabling scalable, high performance, cloud-ready networks across the enterprise. The dramatic rate at which our marketplace has reached 10,000 downloads is proof that Virtual WANop, with its compelling cost/performance ratio, is truly a disruptive market force.”

The Silver Peak Virtual WAN Optimization Marketplace allows anyone to choose from the industry’s most comprehensive portfolio of virtual appliances running on the broadest range of hypervisors, including VMware vSphere, Citrix Xen, and Microsoft Hyper-V. The Silver Peak VX and VRX virtual appliances range from megabits-per-second (Mbps) to gigabits-per-second (Gbps) in WAN capacity. The Marketplace includes common use cases for the Silver Peak products, a download section to obtain licence keys and software images, installation videos, and an online user forum for interaction with Silver Peak experts and other WAN optimization users.
