Some Key Benefits of WAN Optimization
Accelerate Applications Over WAN
-
Applications run up to 100x faster over the WAN
- Deliver LAN-like performance to data centers, remote offices, and mobile workers
- See if business critical applications are getting the resources they need
- Accelerate all traffic over the WAN: email, sharepoint, file sharing, video, Web-based applications, backup, software distribution, SSL-encrypted applications, even custom applications
-
Improve productivity, collaboration, and file-sharing for distributed employees
IT Infrastructure Consolidation
-
Reduce the cost, complexity, and vulnerability of your IT infrastructure
- Consolidate servers, applications, and backup equipment without degrading performance
- Enable more effective virtualization in the data center and branch
- Cut IT maintenance and management costs dramatically
-
Reduce the risk of consolidation with better visibility
Optimize Bandwidth
-
Cut bandwidth utilization by 60% to 95%
- Reduce network congestion and make room for other applications
- De-provision current bandwidth and defer WAN upgrades
-
Identify the critical and non-critical data consuming on your links
Accelerate Backup and Replication
-
Speed your restore time from disasters or problems
- Optimize backup within public AND private cloud
- Simplify the movement of virtual machines
- Reduce backup storage requirements by up to 5-20x
- Centralize recovery and backup of servers and desktop machines
-
Cut backup time over the WAN by 75% to 98%
Cloud Message
-
Accelerate public and private cloud deployments
- Optimize access to applications in the cloud with WAN optimization
- Reduce the cost and time required to migrate to the cloud
- Accelerate access to cloud storage
Riverbed CascadeTM

- Realize ROI on cost-cutting projects including WAN optimization, private and public clouds, server virtualization, and disaster recovery
Whitewater
Revolutionizing Cloud Storage through Acceleration and Optimization
The Riverbed Whitewater appliance is a cloud storage accelerator that provides high-performance LAN access to cloud storage by leveraging industry-proven deduplication technology that simultaneously delivers network (data-in-flight) and storage (data-at-rest) deduplication, enabling organizations to seamlessly extend their storage to the cloud Data center consolidation, an ever-growing volume of data, and significant resource constraints around space, power, and cooling, have created a perfect storm for IT managers. Massive amounts of consolidation put further pressure on organizations for a sound disaster recovery (DR) strategy and off-siting data to avoid a single point of failure. Traditional storage approaches, such as tape, fail miserably under these stringent IT requirements. Cloud storage presents an excellent opportunity for organizations to extend their infrastructure for much of their data protection, archiving, and long-term storage management needs.
Stingray
Riverbed Stingray enables enterprises to deliver fast, secure and available applications across any combination of physical, virtual and cloud infrastructures with a single point of application delivery control and monitoring across all locations.
With Riverbed Stingray, enterprises can also unlock the promise of cloud - autoscaling applications on-demand, balancing across multiple clouds, while leveraging existing investments by seamlessly delivering applications that span both infrastructures.
Ultimately, this allows an enterprise to align their costs much more closely to their business, with the ability to scale infrastructure costs to meet demand in real time- without compromising the experience at peak times.
The Stingray Traffic Manager is a high performance software-based application delivery controller (ADC), designed to deliver faster and more reliable access to public web sites and private applications. Stingray frees applications from the constraints of legacy, proprietary hardware-based load balancers, enabling them to run in any physical, virtual or cloud environment, and to migrate and scale on-demand.
