Silver Peak EdgeConnect SD-WAN Solution Endures Grueling Torture Test; Delivers Superior Network and Application Performance Under Any ConditionSilver Peak, the global leader in broadband and hybrid WAN solutions, today announced that the company's flagship SD-WAN solution, Unity EdgeConnect, successfully endured a series of rigorous network packet-loss resilience tests. Leading independent network test lab Miercom, subjected the EdgeConnect solution to hands-on stress tests to validate the resiliency of multi-link bonded tunnels combined with path conditioning and dynamic path control. Results validated the solution's ability to maintain peak network and application performance and availability through a series of real-world WAN transport congestion, brownout and blackout scenarios. The EdgeConnect test methodology included using Unity Orchestrator to configure a business intent overlay with defied QoS parameters suitable for real-time voice and video applications. In each test scenario, real-time video streams were monitored for interruptions and image artifacts. Multiple scenarios were tested by injecting increasing levels of packet loss to simulate realistic WAN transport conditions across bonded links. "While other SD-WAN vendors claim performance and resiliency, Silver Peak is effectively putting the industry on notice, challenging any vendor to submit their solution to a network torture test," said Derek Granath, vice president of product marketing at Silver Peak (News - Alert). "Distributed enterprises will quickly find that, while others route around WAN service congestion and disruptions, only Silver Peak addresses underlying link performance issues to deliver a superior application experience, even under the most extreme packet-loss conditions."
