Carnival Australia was able to achieve necessary improvements using Silver Peak’s data center class WAN optimization appliances to optimize satellite connections and address the network-induced latency, bandwidth limitations, and packet-loss issues on the WAN.
Carnival initially limited a test with a Silver Peak NX appliance to one ship and an NX appliance in the head office. They started a replication process on a Friday afternoon, and the ship with Silver Peak WAN optimization enabled finished on Sunday, while the other two ships completed the replication on the following Tuesday.
