Golf Savings Bank has deployed Silver Peak’s NX appliances to optimise wide area network performance.

With Silver Peak, Golf Savings Bank has improved its disaster recovery procedures by accelerating Dell Equallogic ISCSI SAN replication across the wide area network (WAN).

Silver Peak optimises every application that runs over IP, including file, e-mail, web, SQL, VoIP, streaming video, citrix, virtual desktop infrastructures, real-time data replication and remote backup. This provides the best return on investment for WAN acceleration, according to Silver Peak.

Matt Simmons, infrastructure manager at Golf Savings Bank, said: High bandwidth utilisation and excessive latency were causing our data replication to perform poorly across the WAN. Silver Peak cleaned up these WAN issues, enabling us to protect more data at no additional cost.

Because Silver Peak benefits all IP applications, we are exploring ways of expanding the solution to our branch offices. By optimising the performance of e-mail, file transfers, and databases queries, the bank can improve the work experience for our remote employees.

Silver Peak improves backup, replication and recovery between data centres and facilitates branch office server and storage centralisation by improving application performance across the Wide Area Network (WAN).
