Silver Peak signs up Netpoleon for ASEAN distribution

Silver Peak, the broadband and hybrid wide area network (WAN) provider, today announced an ASEAN distribution partnership with Netpoleon to help address ASEAN’s growing demand for software-defined (SD) WAN services. Gartner predicts that by the end of 2019, 30% of enterprises will use SD-WAN products in all their branches, up from less than 1% today.

Under the agreement, companies in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines, Vietnam, and Myanmar, will now have direct access to Silver Peak’s Unity EdgeConnect SD-WAN solution. which can augment or replace MPLS networks with broadband connectivity. Connectivity, equipment and network administration costs can be lowered by up to 90%, Silver Peak says.

“The adoption rate of SD-WAN and interest in Silver Peak’s EdgeConnect SD-WAN solution is increasing rapidly within the region. This is largely due to the huge potential cost savings – up to 90% – and the benefits to the enterprise extend to provide unprecedented flexibility, visibility and control, and performance across the WAN,” said Doug Farndale, Vice President, APAC, Silver Peak.
This year, more companies are expected to invest in and leverage SD-WAN technology, by either adding broadband Internet as part of a hybrid MPLS-Internet WAN, or replacing MPLS with dual broadband connections to branch offices. Gartner anticipates total end-user spending on SD-WAN solutions to be in the range of US$25 million to US$50 million in 2016, and that it will double in 2017.
