Silver Peak (News - Alert), a provider of WAN optimization and network management solutions, announced its hardware customers can now get free, anytime upgrade for its Silver Peak virtual software product.


The upgrade is part of a lifetime investment protection program that allows Silver customers to transition to virtual WAN optimization software on any schedule, eventually transitioning to virtualized network services.

For many organizations, virtualization is the top IT priority for 2013, as it provides them with a more agile, responsive and cost-effective IT environment. According to a recent report, “2013 IT Spending Intentions Research,” a majority of organizations need to transform their IT environment without additional investment.

With the latest offer, Silver Peak is helping customers quickly and easily transition to virtualization without spending hugely on IT infrastructure. The software upgrade for life helps customers buy hardware today knowing they can easily convert to virtual when they’re ready.

“Virtualization provides undeniable cost and flexibility benefits, but many customers are still navigating their way toward virtualized network services,” said David Hughes (News - Alert), CEO of Silver Peak, in a statement. “Some organizations are not quite ready to make the switch to virtual, but we know they will be in the future. When they do, Silver Peak has them covered.”

Under this upgrade program, any Silver Peak NX-series hardware (x700 model) customer with a valid maintenance contract can be converted to an equivalent VX-series virtual software product at any time, free of charge.

Customers can get this upgrade by simply logging into the Silver Peak support portal and clicking the button “Convert to Virtual.” New customers interested in Silver Peak virtual WAN optimization can visit the Silver Peak software marketplace and download a free, fully-functional trial with full support.

Silver Peak WAN optimization software allows customers to move more data, over longer distances, and in less time. The Silver Peak virtual products deliver multi-gigabit performance on all standard hypervisors, including VMware vSphere, Citrix XenServer, Microsoft (News - Alert) Hyper-V Server and KVM.

The service offers flexible pricing options, so customers can pay-as-they-go and pay-as-they-grow. The company also offers annual subscription licensing or even hourly utility pricing offered by Amazon Web Services (News - Alert).
