SANTA CLARA, CA — (Marketwire) — 03/14/12 — Global telecom service providers that rely on satellite (WANs) face challenges from high-latency and packet errors. Telecommunications provider (C2C) faced these problems while providing satellite connectivity services to various armed forces in Afghanistan. C2C found the solution with virtual WAN optimizers, and now benefits from improved satellite utilization and faster end-user responses.

Network connectivity for military personnel is extremely important and allows troops to connect with family and friends back home, while also keeping them in touch with news from around the world. C2C was experiencing the challenge to manage IP data (TCP and UDP) going over bandwidth-limited and relatively-expensive satellite links. The majority of the traffic was HTTP, but other applications included email, streaming audio, Internet TV, VoIP, and FTP.
“Our criteria for choosing a solution was very specific — we needed a high capacity solution that improves network quality and latency issues for a wide range of traffic,” states Kees Jan Mink, general manager at C2C. “Silver Peak had a clear advantage on these fronts. Silver Peak also gives us a level of flexibility not offered by other WAN optimization solutions with a wide array of virtual appliances with subscription pricing that fits perfectly into our service provider model.”
With the Silver Peak virtual WAN optimizers deployed, C2C is achieving bandwidth reductions of greater than 50%. The effects of more than 600 milliseconds of latency were also overcome, and packet loss is now less than 1%. By deploying Silver Peak-s virtual appliances on VMware, C2C-s server and facility costs have been lowered by 200%. C2C is now able to run more applications and service more users with the same amount of satellite bandwidth they had before deploying Silver Peak.
