Cruise Industry Leader Carnival Australia Improves IT Productivity and Reduces IT Costs by Optimizing Satellite WAN with Silver Peak
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.
