MSNBC.COM Selects Silver Peak

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Silver Peak Systems
(www.silver-peak.com), a leading provider of scalable Wide Area
Network (WAN) acceleration solutions, today announced that msnbc.com
has selected Silver Peak NX appliances to accelerate Structured Query
Language (SQL) log transfers between core facilities, resulting in 25
times performance improvements and 93 percent better utilization
across the company's WAN.

"Poor WAN performance was causing our data replication processes to
routinely fall behind schedule," said Doug Shore, msnbc.com IT
Director. "WAN acceleration proved key to maintaining the company's
stringent Recovery Point Objectives, while maximizing the performance
of other key business applications."
