Silver Peak Secures Wind River Titanium Server Validation; Accelerates Deployment of SD-WAN NFV Solution

SINGAPORE, October 11, 2016 – Silver Peak, the global leader in
broadband and hybrid WAN solutions, today announced the formal validation of Silver Peak Unity EdgeConnect as a
carrier-grade SD-WAN Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) solution for Wind River Titanium
Server, the industry’s first fully integrated
and feature-complete network virtualization software platform.

By validating EdgeConnect on
the Titanium Server, service providers and telecom equipment manufacturers
(TEM) deploying infrastructure based on the Wind River Titanium Server NFV
platform can now offer an industry leading carrier-grade Silver Peak SD-WAN
solution as part of their overall NFV offering. Service providers and TEMs can
select from a broad range of NFV infrastructure solutions with the confidence
of knowing that they are pre-validated with Titanium Server and production
network ready.

Silver Peak has
successfully completed the testing and validation process as part of the Wind
River Titanium Cloud ecosystem program
dedicated to accelerating the deployment of solutions for NFV. This validation
ensures that EdgeConnect can be easily integrated into Titanium NFV
deployments, enabling service providers and TEMs to speed service agility and
drive revenue growth.

The Silver Peak Unity
EdgeConnect SD-WAN solution is comprised of three fully integrated
components. The foundational component, EdgeConnect, is available as a range of
physical or virtual appliances that provide secure and reliable virtual
overlays to connect users to applications with the flexibility to use any
combination of underlying transport technologies without compromising
application performance. The Unity Orchestrator management system provides
unprecedented levels of visibility into both legacy and cloud applications,
along with the unique ability to centrally assign business intent policies to
secure and control WAN traffic across the distributed enterprise. Unity Boost,
an optional WAN Optimization performance pack, further optimizes application
performance and transport of large data sets over distance.

“As enterprise
IT organizations evaluate SD-WAN solutions to connect branch and remote office
workers to distributed applications, they are also turning to service providers
to evaluate turnkey managed services based on NFV,” said Tricia Png, regional
director of ASEAN, Silver Peak. “Service providers can now confidently offer
and accelerate the deployment of a full range of NFV-based managed services,
including SD-WAN, knowing that Silver Peak EdgeConnect has been fully validated
on Titanium Server.”

“Service
providers are looking for validated and market-ready end-to-end NFV solutions.
To address this need, collaboration across the ecosystem is essential,” said
Charlie Ashton, senior director of business development for networking
solutions at Wind River. “With validation through our Titanium Cloud ecosystem,
we are partnering with leaders like Silver Peak to create optimized,
interoperable solutions for service providers and TEMs that are deploying NFV
across their production networks. Titanium Server provides a foundation for
carrier-grade NFV infrastructure, and by leveraging other pre-validated NFV
elements, service providers can quickly achieve their goals such as reducing
OPEX while accelerating the introduction of new managed NFV-based
services.”
