Marketwired
Silver Peak Systems and Ingram Micro Inc. (NYSE: IM) today
announced distribution agreements across Asia Pacific (APAC) that
include offering Silver Peak's leading data center class wide area
network (WAN) optimization products to resellers and customers in
Australia, Brunei, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, New Zealand,
Pacific Islands, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam.
"With increased adoption of virtualized Infrastructures and more
centralized, cloud-based applications, there is a good growth
opportunity for Silver Peak data center class WAN optimization,"
said Shailendra Gupta, senior EVP and president, Asia Pacific for
Ingram Micro. "Silver Peak's advanced solutions and keen desire to
work with the channel provide a good complement to our portfolio.
We are hopeful that this alignment will bring value to our
customers throughout the region."
Silver Peak virtual and physical appliances provide the
highest-capacity and most comprehensive options for deploying WAN
optimization anywhere -- from data centers, 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), Citrix
(XenServer), Microsoft (Hyper-V), and KVM. This enables enterprises
throughout Asia Pacific to accelerate and optimize IT initiatives
while reducing WAN infrastructure costs, including added costs for
multiprotocol label switching (MPLS), Internet virtual private
networking (VPN) and satellite WANs common to the region.
"APAC is a critical region for WAN optimization because of
highly distributed IT environments and the inherent lower-quality
WANs," said Arturo Cazares, senior vice president of worldwide
sales for Silver Peak. "By teaming with Ingram Micro and our
reseller partners throughout the region, we will help customers
cost-effectively maximize their WAN resources and accelerate the
adoption of business-critical applications between data centers,
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.
