Godfrey & Kahn Picks Silver Peak

Silver Peak Systems
announced that Godfrey & Kahn, a leading provider of legal and
business counseling services, has selected Silver Peak NX appliances as
a key enabler for the law firm’s server and storage centralization
plans. By improving WAN bandwidth utilization and accelerating the
performance of key applications across the WAN (like Interwoven and
Citrix), Silver Peak has helped Godfrey & Kahn deliver fast and
reliable access to centralized business information in a cost effective
manner.

“We made a strategic
decision to centralize a variety of key applications for cost,
security, and manageability reasons,” said Tom Dressel, Director of
Information Technology at Godfrey & Kahn. “Many of these
applications did not work as well as we had hoped across the WAN.
Silver Peak’s Quality of Service (QoS) and data reduction techniques
made a huge difference, helping us to address these WAN performance
challenges head-on.”

The Silver
Peak solution is optimized to support high capacity WAN environments,
delivering significantly more WAN capacity, local data store and TCP
sessions than competitive WAN acceleration devices. Silver Peak offers
the industry’s premier solution for disk based data reduction, Network
Memory, which reduces over 95 percent of WAN traffic and ensures
LAN-like application performance across the WAN by eliminating the
transfer of duplicate data. Network Memory works on all enterprise
applications, regardless of transport protocol (TCP, UDP, or
proprietary) or latency requirements. As a result, Silver Peak is
commonly used to accelerate a variety of business critical
applications, including real-time data replication, remote backup, SQL,
file, email, web, Voice over IP (VoIP), and streaming video.
