Software update speeds RPO delivery

Silver Peak VXOA is the world’s fastest data acceleration operating system that overcomes network distance, congestion and capacity challenges that limit data mobility over distance. The Silver Peak VRX software combines VXOA technology and storage-based forwarding to make replication acceleration easy and affordable for the storage administrator without any networking expertise required.

With the release of VXOA 6.2, Silver Peak further simplifies the deployment of its replication acceleration software with a new installation wizard. The wizard enables storage managers to begin accelerating remote replication and backups from any storage product with six simple mouse clicks. Once traffic is accelerated, storage managers now benefit from a new storage-specific data view that quantifies the benefit of using Silver Peak. The graphical view shows how much data is replicated, how fast data is replicated and information to validate an RPO is being met.

“When it comes to disaster preparedness, storage managers are laser focused on one thing – meeting the RPO,” said Everett Dolgner, director of replication product management for Silver Peak. “The challenge, however, arises when the network gets in the way of meeting that objective. Silver Peak makes it easier than ever for the storage manager to accelerate their replication environment by doing all of the networking heavy-lifting behind the scenes. From download, to deployment, to acceleration, Silver Peak provides the fastest and easiest path to meeting your RPO.”

Silver Peak VRX software products offer the flexibility of running on any common hypervisor. The software improves replication throughput by an average of 20x and enables companies to protect more data in less time with no changes to the existing network infrastructure. The Silver Peak VRX software products are available for free 30-day, fully-supported trials on Silver Peak’s software marketplace.
