Silver Peak Revives Aging WAN and Saves Thousands of Dollars Annually for Global Anti-Aging Enterprise
SANTA CLARA, CA, Feb 14, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
Global businesses with growing amounts of data and distributed
applications can quickly push the wide area network (WAN) beyond
capacity. Skin care and nutritional products leader Nu Skin
experienced this first-hand when its disaster recovery objectives and
remote call center connectivity became impacted. Nu Skin solved this
and is saving thousands of dollars annually with Silver Peak data
center class WAN optimization in place.
High-bandwidth consumption between Nu Skin's corporate data center
and its disaster recovery site was slowing the company's EMC(R)
Symmetrix(R) Remote Data Facility replication (SRDF/A) processes and
hindering recovery time objectives (RTO) for disaster recovery. At
the same time, application performance to remote calls centers was
impaired due to high-latency and poor network quality.
Nu Skin selected Silver Peak for the real-time network optimization
techniques that allowed the company to achieve an 8:1 improvement in
bandwidth reduction for SRDF/A replication, resulting in replication
times being cut dramatically. The company is also achieving up to a
20:1 improvement in traffic optimization for various applications to
remote sites, which has significantly improved productivity and
response times for remote call center employees who access
centralized data.
"We sought out a company who could provide an innovative solution for
our increasing WAN bandwidth requirements," said Brian Crandall,
global systems architect at Nu Skin. "Silver Peak was the only vendor
that could deliver private-line performance for our required
applications over our shared network. Silver Peak's comprehensive
capabilities and tight integration with EMC was critical for us, and
will allow us to save many thousands of dollars a year in WAN
bandwidth costs alone."
Nu Skin selected Silver Peak over the competition citing Silver
Peak's industry-leading scale, ease-of-use, and unique ability to
optimize all traffic over lower-cost shared WAN infrastructures. Nu
Skin benefits from Silver Peak's 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(TM) to maximize WAN bandwidth utilization. Nu Skin
also benefits from Silver Peak's Global Management System (GMS),
which simplifies administrative tasks for managing a global
installation while providing granular visibility into the distributed
WAN infrastructure.
