Mon, November 2, 2009 Riverbed to Showcase IT Infrastructure Performance Solutions at TechNet Asia-Pacific 2009
SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - November 2, 2009) - [ Riverbed Technology ] (
Organizations wishing to accelerate mission-critical data across diverse network environments can leverage Riverbed WAN optimization solutions to increase performance across the broadest range of applications. Organizations, including government agencies and defense departments, utilize Riverbed to enable IT environments by consolidating and virtualizing global IT assets, speeding data transfers and decreasing backup and data replication times by up to 90 percent, all while cutting IT costs by up to 30 percent.
Riverbed recently extended its commitment to federal enterprises by completing a successful assessment by the [ Joint Interoperability Test Command ] (JITC). JITC, a military organization under the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) and the Department of Defense (DoD), conducts security and interoperability testing of national security systems and information technology systems hardware, software and components. To further its support for federal enterprises, Riverbed continues to work on additional important federal security standards. Riverbed is currently in the process of seeking Federal Information Processing Standards Publications (FIPS) 140-2 Validation and is also officially in evaluation for an EAL4+ certification under the Canadian Communications Security Establishment's (CSE) Common Criteria Evaluation and Certification Scheme (CCS).
Conference attendees can learn more about Riverbed WAN optimization solutions and how they are currently being leveraged by defense organizations, including:
-- [ Riverbed Steelhead® appliances ], powered by the Riverbed Optimization System (RiOS®), accelerate applications, enabling customers to consolidate their IT assets, optimize bandwidth usage and improve disaster recovery (DR) processes -- leading to cost-cutting, increased data security and greater application performance. The most recently announced version, [ RiOS 6.0 ], which is expected to be generally available in Q4 2009, has new and enhanced support for Citrix, Mac clients, Oracle E-Business 12, and Web applications such as Microsoft SharePoint and SAP. Disaster recovery capabilities and the Riverbed Services Platform (RSP) are also enhanced with many new features.
-- [ RSP ] is a virtualized platform that enables a drastic reduction in an enterprise's IT footprint by running up to five third-party software modules at one time -- without the need for separate dedicated servers. Services currently available for deployment on the RSP include streaming media, print services, network management sensors, unified threat management/web proxy services and DNS/DHCP/IPAM. Additionally, through Riverbed's partnership with Global Protocols, SkipWare is available as an application enabled to run on the RSP, enabling comprehensive, cross-layer optimization without sacrificing Space Communication Protocol Standards (SCPS) standards compliance or interoperability.
-- [ Steelhead Mobile ] software can help defense organizations meet mobility performance requirements by enabling employees to instantly access data from any location and accelerate applications to remote locations, giving warfighters timely access to mission-critical information.
To learn more about Riverbed WAN optimization solutions, conference-goers can visit Riverbed on the TechNet Asia-Pacific 2009 show floor.
