SD-WAN Market Leader Silver Peak Celebrates 1,000 Customer Milestone

Silver Peak^®, the global leader in broadband and hybrid WAN solutions, today announced that it now serves over 1,000 customers around the world with its award winning Unity EdgeConnect™ SD-WAN solution. Today's milestone encompasses both enterprise customers served by the Silver Peak channel partner ecosystem and end-customers served by Silver Peak (News - Alert) service provider partners offering turnkey managed SD-WAN services powered by EdgeConnect.

Production customer deployments span all market segments and geographies from distributed enterprises with tens to hundreds of sites to businesses deploying tiered managed SD-WAN services offered by Silver Peak service provider partners. New EdgeConnect SD-WAN solution customers include: Andersen Tax LLC, Gerresheimer AG, NSW Department of Planning and Environment, Integra Life Sciences, J-U-B Engineers Inc., Republic Bank and Trust, SiteOne Landscape Supply, Southern Cross Austereo, Tennesse Oncology, Universal Health Services and Westrac.

Since introducing EdgeConnect three years ago, Silver Peak innovation has been shaped by working hand-in-hand with customers to shift from a device-centric WAN model where the business is forced to conform to the constraints of the network toward a business-first model where the network empowers the business. The result, EdgeConnect is the industry's most complete and advanced SD-WAN solution, automatically learning and adapting to changing business requirements to assure the highest levels of application performance and end user quality of experience.

J-U-B Engineers, Inc.

Headquartered in Boise, Idaho, J-U-B Engineers is a leader in civil engineering, with a long list of successful projects in transportation, water resources, land development, and other specialty areas that reach from Washington to Colorado. Additionally, subsidiary companies Gateway (News - Alert) Mapping, Inc. and The Langdon Group supplement J-U-B's expertise with world-class Geographic Information Systems (GIS) services, and public involvement, facilitation, mediation, and conflict management, respectively.

"Ultimately, we selected the Silver Peak Unity EdgeConnect SD-WAN solution for its ability to meet the unique requirements of our company," said Tory Adams, director of information technology at J-U-B Engineers, Inc. "One of the things I appreciate about the EdgeConnect solution is that you don't have to be a rocket scientist to configure and operate it like a lot of competitive products. The gain in application performance translates to a major time-saver for employees and user complaints have all but gone away."

Republic Bank and Trust Company

Founded in 1977, Louisville, Kentucky-based Republic Bank serves customers across 45 full-service banking centers spanning Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Tennessee and Florida.

"Connecting branch employees securely and directly to the applications that underpin our banking products and services is critical to achieving our success criteria and reinforcing our pledge to delight customers," said Sean O'Mahoney senior vice president and managing director of technology services at Republic Bank. "The Silver Peak Unity EdgeConnect SD-WAN solution delivered the best performance, most functionality and ease-of-management of the SD-WAN vendors we evaluated. With EdgeConnect, we now have the flexibility to make full use of both our MPLS and broadband connections, while assuring robust security and application acceleration with integrated WAN optimization. This powerful combination is enabling us to evolve beyond the cost and complexity of our conventional ISRs with a centrally managed business-driven WAN edge."

Southern Cross Austereo (SCA)

"As a long-term satisfied Silver Peak NX/VX WAN optimization customer, we've been able to increase bandwidth and dramatically improve network and application performance and availability," said Rob Tuck, network manager for SCA. "As we fully embrace the cloud, including Microsoft (News - Alert) Azure and Office 365, we needed an SD-WAN solution designed to seamlessly connect our employees, across 61 branch locations, directly to our IaaS and SaaS (News - Alert) instances with the performance, security and ease of management we required to maintain SLAs and provide a superior user experience. The results have proven swift and compelling, EdgeConnect has further reduced our WAN costs and made a marked improvement to staff productivity and our overall business agility."
