Santa Clara, CA, May 19, 2008 – Silver Peak Systems, a leading provider of scalable Wide Area Network (WAN) acceleration solutions, today introduced the NX-9000, the newest member of the company's award winning NX family of appliances. The NX-9000 is the industry's first Gigabit WAN acceleration product, raising the bar for WAN performance and scale. "The amount of data being generated by enterprises is growing at 50 – 60 percent year over year," said Bob Laliberte, analyst at ESG. "All of this data needs to be not only protected, but it also needs to be accessible from enterprise locations around the globe. Existing WAN links that provide connectivity to data centers and remote locations can get overwhelmed very quickly. Buying additional bandwidth to accommodate the data growth is prohibitively cost expensive. The convergence of rapid data growth and the need to transport large amounts of data for accessibility and/or protection creates a fundamental need for bigger and faster WAN optimization solutions." Head of the ClassThe NX-9000 supports up to 4 Gbps of bidirectional LAN side traffic and 1 Gbps of bidirectional WAN side traffic, with 8 TB of local data store available for WAN deduplication. The newest Silver Peak appliance delivers 4 times – 10 times the real-time throughput of competitive offerings. Other unique scalability advantages of the NX-9000 include: 10 Gbps Interfaces. The NX-9000 includes two 10Gbps interfaces and four 1Gbps interfaces with EtherChannel bonding for physical connectivity between Silver Peak appliances and network elements, which is required for deployment in data center environments. As more hosts turn to multi-Gbps interfaces, the NX-9000 has the capacity required to support the corresponding growth in data volumes. Industry Leading Flow Capacity: The NX-9000 supports over 256,000 simultaneous TCP flows, enabling hundreds of offices to be connected to a single appliance and more traffic to flow between devices.
