Silver Peak is rolling out a global certified deployment partner programme.
The idea is to create a partner network which can deliver enterprise grade SD-WAN.
The outfit is starting the scheme with a select number of partners that have got themselves into a position to gain the sales, technical and deployment certifications. CDW, InterVision, INVITE Networks, Teneo, WWT and Xalient have all been signed up.
Silver Peak has appointed Ian Whiting to the role of president, global field operations.
Whiting will lead direct and indirect sales, sales operations and all aspects of the company’s go-to-market strategy for channel and service provider partners. Whiting reports directly to Founder and CEO David Hughes.
Silver Peak was recently recognised for the second consecutive year as a Leader in the Gartner 2019 “Magic Quadrant” for WAN Edge Infrastructure.
Silver Peak has expanded its partnership with Ciena.
The idea is to use Ciena’s universal customer premise equipment (uCPE) to create new service delivery models for communications service providers (CSPs) that bring new levels of flexibility to global enterprise customers.
The Silver Peak Unity EdgeConnect SD-WAN edge platform unifies SD-WAN, routing, segmentation and WAN optimisation into a single NFV software instance that runs on the Ciena 3906 and 3926 platforms, creating the foundation for a modern business-driven WAN edge.

The outfit believes that the SD-Wan market is headed for a growth spurt soon.
