Aspera
Aspera offers a complete portfolio of client-server software solutions that enable individual users or automated business processes to access, manage, and move bulk file-data with the highest levels of performance when combined with high speed Symmetrix, CLARiiON, and Celerra Unified storage platforms.
Aspera maximizes efficiency and bandwidth investments through a patented protocol called fasp. fasp is specifically engineered to move bulk file data over distance. Aspera’s unique value proposition delivers fast, secure, reliable, and controllable access to file data over a metro, national, or global WAN.
Aspera enables user productivity and enterprise efficiency through client-server, client-storage, server-server, or storage-storage interactions, which can be an integral part of an adhoc or file-based workflow.

Riverbed
Steelhead Appliances
Riverbed Steelhead appliances reduce network traffic, relieve network congestion, and lower costs. This results in dramatic performance improvements across the broad range of applications enterprises care about most. Using various optimization mechanisms such as data streamlining and QoS, higher data reduction ratios (5:1 or greater) and increased throughput for common workloads seen in SRDF/A environments can be achieved.
By choosing Riverbed, enterprises can address key IT issues that impact day to day operations including:
- WAN capacity acting as a bottleneck to meeting recovery point objective and recovery time objective (RPO/RTO).
- Data growth driving the need to send more data over the same pipe.
- Cost of WAN circuit hindering business continuity planning.
- Replication projects in which bandwidth is shared with other applications.
- Network latency impacting long-distance replication.

Silver Peak
Silver Peak Replication Acceleration
With Silver Peak's replication acceleration, customers can protect 20X more data over existing WAN infrastructures. This delivers the following strategic benefits:
- Meet Recovery Point Objectives (RPO)
- Improve the reliability of offsite replication
- Increase geographic distances between data centers
- Lower disaster recovery costs by over 60%
Silver Peak’s Replication Acceleration works with SRDF/A and can accelerate any other IP-based protocol. The solution is delivered as virtual software (VX series or the VRX series) or as a standalone appliance (NX series).
Global Management System (GMS)
A platform for the deployment, management, and monitoring of a Silver Peak-enabled WAN, GMS gives detailed visibility into WAN performance statistics, application analysis, and tools for the configuration and management of Silver Peak NX Series appliances.
