7. Bentley – Both Commercial and Performance
Business Challenges
• Poor performing business apps at
remote locations
• Insufficient visibility of app performance
• Network changes take too long
Silver Peak Advantages
Cost savings $1.2M on WAN
connectivity over three years
Simplified site management – fewer
appliances to manage
Internet breakout from local sites for
SaaS apps
Silver Peak regard EcoLogic as their "Safe Pair of Hands"
“Our managed NaaS-based SD-WAN solution was proving
cost prohibitive to scale so we conducted a proof-of-
concept and selected Silver Peak EdgeConnect. We
selected EdgeConnect for its superior performance,
advanced feature-set and ability to cost-effectively scale in
line with our business requirements. To date, we’ve
realized a
15% gain in network and application performance and
we’re on track to a three-month ROI that will enable us
to save more than $1.4M in connectivity costs over
the coming 3 years.”

The Results
11. Recent experience……Performance ‘does’ matter!
Silver Peak regard EcoLogic as a "SAFE PAIRS of HANDS"
• Rapid Deployment unit replaced when an ADSL connection was
provided!
• Rapid Deployment box was relocated
to next temporary location
• One week later the site requested
a return of the Rapid Deployment Case
Purely for BETTER END USER PERFORMANCE OVER 4G
