SILVER PEAK SIGNS IPKNOWLEDGE AS PARTNER IN BENELUX

• Tuesday, 04 April 2006

April 4th - Silver Peak Systems, a developer of enterprise-class network acceleration appliances that enable multi-national companies to reduce “server sprawl” in branch offices, today announces its channel partnership with IPknowledge, extending its reach into the Benelux region. This is one of several recent announcements from Silver Peak that has witnessed the company securing strategic relationships in a number of key regions, confirming the company’s commitment to its channel strategy as launched in December 2005.

Paul Gracie said: “IPknowledge (www.ipknowledge.net) is an independent IP experts company that has proved to be very proactive in the field of WAN acceleration. This is just the sort of company with which we want to align ourselves. They have broad expertise in Proof of Concepts and building business cases such as serverless offices and compliance. We look forward to developing a new customer base with them in the Benelux region.”

“There are many WAN acceleration vendors active in the networking market today, but Silver Peak is clearly ahead of the game,” says Fred Geerlings, co-founder of IPknowledge. “By adding UDP performance enhancements for VoIP, Citrix and streaming video traffic Silver Peak’s technology can be deployed in a broad range of networks. Also they lead their competitors in the areas of built-in security and price performance. We have tested the NX Series thoroughly in our lab and we are already in the process of planning the first field tests at customers.”

Silver Peak’s NX Series of enterprise-class appliances enable organisations to centralise branch office server and storage infrastructure, reducing IT costs and enhancing enterprise-wide data security and compliance. Silver Peak’s innovative Local Instance Networking (LIN) functionality delivers Local Area Network (LAN) performance over a WAN for all applications. By operating at the network layer to remain application transparent, Silver Peak’s Local Instance Networking approach achieves secure, scalable application delivery for all application types: TCP applications, UDP applications, real-time applications such as Citrix, and streaming applications such as VoIP and video. In so doing, the Silver Peak solution eliminates the need for point products, such as Wide Area File Servers (WAFS), caches, and application proxies.
