-- "Riverbed helped us consolidate our Worksite deployment without impacting the performance to our demanding end-users," said Ben Weinberger, commented as Director of IT at Ruden McClosky.

-- "Law firms are relying heavily on WAN-based backup and data replication to secure important files and data. Backup and replication over the WAN ensures that data can be safely protected, but also introduces new performance challenges that require enterprises to seek out methods that accelerate WAN backup applications," said Alan Saldich, vice president of product marketing and alliances at Riverbed. "Many leading law firms have implemented our award-winning WAN optimization solutions that ease the burden of slow application performance making secure backup and data replication a reality."

-- "In order to make the workforce more efficient and obtain the most out of each employee's billable hours, IT must provide these employees with efficient ways to share data, collaborate on cases, and use common applications from global dispersed offices," said Alan Saldich, vice president of product marketing and alliances at Riverbed. "When employees can collaborate faster and more easily across the WAN, law firms are able to provide customers with the most-talented workforce no matter where they are located in the world."
