Riverbed Technology: Riverbed to Showcase IT Infrastructure Performance Solutions at Storage Decisions New York
SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - September 18, 2009) - Riverbed Technology (
Riverbed® offers a complete WAN optimization solution that accelerates applications and data for remote offices, data centers and mobile workers across wide area networks (WANs), speeding access to applications in some cases by up to 100 times, making the WAN feel more like the LAN. More than 6,500 customers, across a wide range of markets, have implemented Riverbed WAN optimization solutions to dramatically improve employee productivity, cut costs and enable a more agile IT infrastructure. Many of these companies with large data centers and strategic disaster recovery (DR) initiatives are leveraging Riverbed Steelhead® appliances to accelerate disaster recovery processes, in some cases up to 55 times faster.
Recognizing the importance of data protection, DR and business continuity, Riverbed continues to forge key partnerships to better support its customers' data center consolidation efforts and strategic disaster recovery initiatives. Riverbed has obtained [ EMC ] qualification for its Steelhead appliances to work with EMC SRDF®/A (Symmetrix Remote Data Facility/Asynchronous). By removing large amounts of duplicate data from the WAN during SRDF/A operations, Steelhead appliances can dramatically reduce bandwidth requirements associated with protecting more data. Riverbed also announced that [ Hitachi Data Systems ] has qualified Steelhead appliances for use with both Hitachi TrueCopy® Remote Replication and Hitachi Universal Replicator products, which allow companies to optimize DR processes between data centers while reducing overall IT costs.
