enterprises across the Asia Pacific and Japan region turn to SD-WAN as a
means to drive cloud and digital transformation initiatives," said Dean

Peak. "My immediate task is to put in place the best go-to-market
strategy and team to lead Silver Peak forward, empowering customers
across the region with our business-driven Unity EdgeConnect SD-WAN edge
platform and liberating them from the compromises of router-centric and
basic SD-WAN approaches to transform their networks into a business
accelerant."
