Resiliency Even Under the Most Extreme Levels of Packet Loss
Singapore, August 23, 2017 – Silver 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 defined 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 Tricia Png, regional director,
Asia, for Silver Peak. “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.”

Test Findings (access full Miercom test report here):
Test Findings (access full Miercom test report here):
- The high availability link
bonding policy continued to ensure connectivity during a blackout
condition of an underlay - Silver Peak high availability
link bonding policy managed and adjusted to degrading link conditions and
maintained application availability during a brownout condition - Even if packets are dropped,
bonded links in the high availability mode with forward error correction
assured that no application data packets were lost over the connection - Business intent overlays
utilized tunnels, created by bonding multiple underlay links together to
act as one, these overlays can perform micro-segmentation to apply
security and QoS policies and to assist in meeting compliance requirements
“Our
testing proved that the Silver Peak EdgeConnect SD-WAN solution is
exceptionally well-suited in maintaining network and application availability
and performance through a range of real-world, challenging network scenarios,”
said Miercom CEO, Rob Smithers. “EdgeConnect provides distributed enterprises
the ability to connect users to applications with the flexibility, confidence
and economies of using any combination of underlying WAN transport
technologies.”
