More than 5500 customers, across a wide range of markets, have implemented Riverbed WAN optimization solutions in their geographically dispersed organizations. At Storage Networking World Spring 2009, Riverbed customer Hilton Grand Vacations Company will discuss how it dramatically reduced its server sprawl while keeping end users around the world happy with quick and easy access to virtualized services and applications.

WAN optimization technology -- the foundation for speeding business-critical applications -- has also enabled consolidation and centralization, which in turn has led to storage infrastructure virtualization.

Conference attendees can learn more about Riverbed WAN optimization solutions at Storage Networking World Spring 2009.
