The Silver Peak EdgeConnect is purposefully engineered to power today's cloud-first consumption of enterprise applications. The thin branch consolidates and orchestrates the consumption of network functions like SD-WAN, BGP routing, WAN optimization, firewall while protecting current infrastructure investment.

Flexible migration from legacy routers to SD-WAN. Unity EdgeConnect gives you the option to replace routers altogether, integrate with existing routers and appliances, and/or interoperate with legacy sites not yet SD-WAN enabled. Learn more about the Silver Peak SD-WAN Solution Unity EdgeConnect.

Today’s cloud-connected enterprise demands a new WAN architecture, an SD-WAN, to meet the performance and security requirements for SaaS and IaaS. As SD-WAN technology evolves, new levels of automation, security and architectural simplification have emerged. First-packet application classification is an advanced capability that automatically steers trusted SaaS and web traffic directly to the internet and unknown or suspicious traffic to a next-generation firewall for additional security inspection.

Further advancements harness machine learning and AI to enable adaptive, application-centric traffic handling and pervasive security. With automation, machine learning, and AI, the Self-Driving WAN can be realized.

Strategic IT leaders are under pressure to balance the complexities of managing legacy infrastructure while accelerating the migration to the cloud which can compromise their effectiveness. Silver Peak offers a complete range of best-in-class hardware, software and cloud-based WAN solutions that provide secure and reliable virtual overlays to connect users to applications with the flexibility to use any combination of underlying transport without compromising application performance. This results in greater business agility and lower costs. Watch this video to see how your organization can leverage Silver Peak solutions.

The Interroll Group is a worldwide leading producer of high-quality key products and services for internal logistics. Interroll has deployed the Silver Peak Unity EdgeConnect SD-WAN solution to transition its WAN from MPLS to broadband, connecting 2,000+ global employees to applications around the world with the performance, security and cost efficiencies the business demands. The global firm manages its global WAN centrally, across 33 locations, using Unity Orchestrator, enabled by business intent overlays that classify applications in alignment with service level requirements, assuring continuous application performance and availability regardless of underlying network conditions. Unity Boost is applied to further accelerate application performance.

This is a demonstration of Silver Peak Dynamic Path Control capabilities as part of an SD-WAN deployment. We show a hybrid WAN environment with MPLS and Internet connectivity. Learn how different forms of traffic can be dynamically directed over each of the connections, and how Dynamic Path Control can load balance between the two links.

How quick can you deploy an SD-WAN? With Silver Peak Unity EdgeConnect, you can connect a branch to broadband, MPLS or a combination of the two in minutes.
