SilverPeak Solution Versus NetScaler SD-WAN
Criteria SilverPeak Unity NetScaler SD-WAN NetScaler SD-WAN Advantage
Device-managed Device-managed Device-managed approach provides faster failover and
Failover Methodology
Seamless to application Seamless to application operational simplicity.
Packet-based path selection is more efficient and provides a
Path Selection By Packet By packet
better user experience
Path Measurement & Recovery Sub second to seconds Milliseconds NetScaler SD-WAN ensures app connectivity by responding to
Speed latency, jitter, and packet loss changes in milliseconds
No. Assymetric routing is Applications are not symmetric, same asbroadband. So
Unidirectional selection Yes
not supported measurement and selection shouldn’t be symmetrical
Dual-ended QoS is a requirement for reliable application
Dual-ended QoS No Yes
delivery over Internet-based connections
Bandwidth bonding ensures efficient bandwidth usage while
Bandwidth Bonding Yes Yes
dynamic mapping can result in path flapping
Duplication provides lossless deliver for VoIP or other
Packet Duplication No, but FEC helps some Yes
applications, while FEC benefits are less guaranteed
In addition to compression and de-duplication, only NetScaler
Data compression & Reduction Yes Yes
SD-WAN provides visibility into application delivery
NetScaler SD-WAN supports a broad set of protocols, with
Protocol Acceleration Limited Yes
industry leading HDX acceleration
Default is simple but To achieve maximum performance, SilverPeak requires
Configuration complexity Simple
insufficient significant configuration effort
