GEC NEWS WIREShowcasing revolutionary intelligent WAN Fabric, cloud services and upcoming technologies
Silver Peak kicked off the UAE leg of its 2015 road show; highly-placed experts from the firm dissected network performance myths and presented solutions to accelerate data to new, optimized speeds, including Unity, Silver Peak’s latest revolutionary intelligent WAN fabric that unifies the enterprise network with the public cloud.
With the global WAN optimization market expected to grow to USD 12.1 billion in 2019, at an estimated compound annual growth rate of 18.8%, as per a report issued by research firm MarketsandMarkets, the growing popularity of WAN optimization has never been more apparent, especially in the Middle East and Africa, which has been dubbed the second-fastest growing market in the world.
“WAN optimization is shaping up to be one of the hottest areas of the network equipment market, and we’ve seen strong growth in the Middle East. This road show marks a unique opportunity for the region’s solution seekers, industry watchers and followers to get up to date with the latest trends and network technology” said Bhaskar Peruri, regional sales manager for the Middle East at Silver Peak.
But the main focus of the event was Unity; unlike traditional WAN optimisation solutions, Unity correlates information about cloud services and Internet ‘weather’ to intelligently route traffic over a secure, optimal path. Silver Peak’s groundbreaking solution Unity fills quite the gap in the region’s market: according to Gartner, Middle East and North Africa region’s (MENA) public cloud services market has grown 23% in 2014 to total USD 629 million, up from USD 511 million in 2013.
The Silver Peak 2015 road show will carry on to Abu Dhabi tomorrow, March 24, and then on to Bahrain on March 26.
