Riverbed
Riverbed Wide Area Data Services (WDS) solutions enable organizations of all sizes to overcome a host of severe wide-area network problems, including poor application performance and insufficient bandwidth at remote sites—typically reducing network utilization by 60 to 95 percent.
Need for Speed
By speeding the performance of applications between data centers, remote offices and mobile workers, Riverbed's WDS Steelhead appliances address all of the following at once:
- Application acceleration
- WAN optimization
- Wide area file services (WAFS)
- QoS and traffic shaping
- Web caching
What Kinds of Organizations Benefit Most?
The Riverbed solution is especially good for companies that routinely send the same kinds of information over and over. So it’s great for any company running a WAN—and especially remarkable for companies with lots of office locations, that process large data files (such as CAD, MS Office docs, etc.), or that routinely experience slow email response times.
Riverbed Key Benefits
- Faster Backup & Replication: Some customers have seen 24-hour reductions in the very first pass.
- Centralized Management: Global management capabilities from a single web-based administration point.
- Easy to Implement: Out of the box, offline configuration can take as little as 15 minutes.
- Simple to Configure: No bolting additional line cards into another device.
Customizable to Your Network
The Riverbed appliance is sized depending on your network: number of users, bandwidth, TCP connections, etc. That said, we recommend having a GreenPages engineer perform a site survey or proof of concept to determine the best configuration. Simply put, we think Riverbed’s WDS solution stacks up—and in many ways outpaces—other solutions in the marketplace.
