Silver
Peak, the global SD-WAN
leader, delivering the transformational promise of the cloud with a
self-driving wide area network™, today announced that it has been
awarded ‘SD-WAN Vendor of the Year’ and ‘Network Project of the Year’
for its business-driven Unity
EdgeConnect™ SD-WAN edge platform and customer deployment with Mazars
at the 2019
Network Computing Awards in the UK. This marks the second
consecutive year that Silver Peak has been recognized for its SD-WAN
innovation and successful customer deployments.
The Network Computing Awards celebrate the best companies and technology
solutions that help to keep networks running effectively, as well as the
business-critical applications that run on them. It also recognizes the
industry’s most innovative and inspirational projects of 2019.
Mazars Awarded Network Project of the Year
As a top 10 UK accountancy firm with a global footprint, Mazars had run
private MPLS circuits from its data center – located at its headquarters
in Tower Hill, London – to its 18 UK offices and seven international
offices supporting 1,700 employees and 140 partners. When the company
opened its international branch sites in Australia, Delhi and New York,
Quality of Service (QoS) across its existing MPLS WAN architecture
resulted in challenges in connecting its users to cloud-based
applications.
Since its deployment of the EdgeConnect SD-WAN edge platform, Mazars is
now making the most of a hybrid WAN approach. Digital transformation is
continuing to have a big impact on businesses today – especially on IT
departments – as workloads are becoming increasingly cloud-based for
speed and agility. Mazars is now able to fully embrace the cloud,
without compromising network or application performance.
“Winning these two awards reaffirms our market position as the global
SD-WAN leader, enabling our customers to realize the full
transformational promise of the cloud,” said Kristian Thyregod, vice
president, Europe, Middle East and Africa region for Silver Peak. “We
are delivering true business value to companies like Mazars by enabling
them to gain efficiencies, move with greater agility and realize both
hard and soft savings. We are delighted that our work continues to
be recognized, and the fact that the awards were voted on by the
industry and Network Computing readers is the icing on the cake.”
