Silver Peak’s David Hughes
Silver Peak, the software-defined wide area networking (SD-WAN) provider, is celebrating its 600th customer.
The Santa Clara, California-based vendor announced Monday that 600 enterprise clients have deployed its Unity EdgeConnect SD-WAN offering. Silver Peak has existed since 2004 and is known as one of the largest providers in the SD-WAN market. Frost & Sullivan puts Silver Peak at third in market share with 12.7 percent, trailing VeloCloud and Cisco-Viptela.
“We think it is not just indicative of Silver Peak’s success, but also of the acceleration and adoption of SD-WAN by enterprises around the world,” Silver Peak CEO David Hughes said of the 600 customers.
And the 600 customer milestone is a show of strength. As large companies like VMware and Cisco acquire SD-WAN companies, access to a large customer base becomes even more important to the rest of the market. Hughes told Channel Partners last month that his company’s 13 years in the industry gives it the necessary scale it needs to stay competitive.
“I think as we move into the next phase of the market, if you haven’t already got scale, if you haven’t already got hundreds of customers and a growing business, it’s going to be really challenging,” he said at the time.
Hughes tells Channel Partners that customer deployments of EdgeConnect have tripled year-over-year since it launched two years ago.
