Finisar deploy Silver Peak.

Silver Peak Systems have announced that Finisar Corporation provider of optical components and testing equipment, has deployed Silver Peak NX appliances throughout its global footprint. With Silver Peak's WAN acceleration technology, Finisar has improved design collaboration between employees in the United States and Asia, while maximizing data protection through faster data replication and more reliable backups of remote facilities.

With Silver Peak, it takes about 15 seconds to move a 50 MB database from Sunnyvale to Malaysia using Xcopy, versus 8 minutes without it. CommVault backups were reduced from 4 days to less than one day per remote location. In addition, the company is getting more than 100 Mbps actual WAN throughput using NetApp's SnapMirror technology on a 45 Mbps link between California and Texas, cutting a 2 hour replication to less than 15 minutes.
