Silver Peak Systems and Ingram Micro Australia
announced today that, as part of a distribution partnership across the
APAC region, Ingram Micro has will distribute Silver Peak’s leading data
centre class wide area network (WAN) optimisation products to resellers
and customers in Australia.
“The growth of
virtualised Infrastructures and centralised, cloud-based applications
provides a strong growth opportunity for Silver Peak data centre class
WAN optimisation solutions in this market,” said David Lenz, Senior
Director, Enterprise Technology Group for Ingram Micro.
Silver
Peak virtual and physical appliances provide the highest-capacity and
most comprehensive options for deploying WAN optimisation anywhere—from
data centres, to branch offices, and to the cloud. Silver Peak’s
Virtual Acceleration Open Architecture (VXOA) also aligns well with
Ingram Micro’s virtual infrastructure offerings from companies such as
VMware (vSphere), Microsoft (Hyper-V), and KVM.
This
enables enterprises to accelerate and optimise IT initiatives while
reducing WAN infrastructure costs, including added costs for
multiprotocol label switching (MPLS), Internet virtual private
networking (VPN) and satellite WANs.
“Silver
Peak’s innovative solutions and strong support for the channel make them
an ideal partner and one which strongly complements our existing
enterprise data centre vendor partners. We are looking forward to
working closely with the Silver Peak team and our resellers to
capitalise on the opportunities this strongly growing segment of the
market offers,” says Lenz.
“Australia is a
critical region for WAN optimisation because of highly distributed IT
environments and the inherent lower-quality WAN connectivity,” said
Arturo Cazares, senior vice president of worldwide sales for Silver
Peak. “By teaming with Ingram Micro and our reseller partners in
Australia, we will help customers cost-effectively maximise their WAN
resources and accelerate the adoption of business-critical applications
between data centres, branch offices, and the cloud.”
As
part of the new value-added distribution relationship, Ingram Micro and
Silver Peak are co-investing in dedicated technical support staff,
market development, and cross-trained sales engineers across the APAC
region.
