Riverbed

Richardson Eyres, working with Riverbed, can deliver application acceleration, IT consolidation, WAN bandwidth optimization, and faster WAN backup – all in a single appliance.

• Do you have aplications running over a corporate WAN?
• Do your remote office users complain of poor application performance?
• Are you planning to consolidate distributed servers, storage and backup equipment from remote offices to a central site?
• Do you need to improve data transfer speeds between sites such as for WAN-based backup/restore or data replication?

If the answer is yes to any of the above you should consider Riverbed’s award-winning Wide-area Data Services technology from Richardson Eyres.

Who is Riverbed?

Riverbeds' Steelhead appliances provide the highest level of performance improvement across the broadest range of applications over WANs. By doing so, Riverbed is changing the way people work – and enabling a truly distributed workforce.

Wide Area Data Services (WDS)

Wide-area Data Services encompass several application acceleration categories including WAN optimization or network compression, Wide Area File Systems (WAFS), web caching and web application acceleration.

Unlike many technologies that only address a single aspect of slow application performance on WANs, Riverbeds' WDS solutions address all of these approaches simultaneously.

Key benefits of Riverbed Solutions:

• Steelhead appliances simultaneously eliminate redundant network traffic and deliver peak com­pression ratios achieving LAN-like performance for WANs
• Provide a 60% to 95% reduction in bandwidth usage thereby avoiding WAN upgrades, freeing bandwidth for applications that need it, such as VOIP and Citrix
• Increase throughput of all TCP traffic, delivering specific application performance improvements up to 100 times for popular applications like Exchange, Lotus Notes and file sharing
• Tackle both bandwidth and latency issues
• Enable consolidation of distributed servers, storage and backup equipment from remote offices to a central site without sacrificing performance for remote end users - significantly reducing the complexity, and thereby cost, of delivering IT services
• Dramatically shortens backup and replication time over a WAN, even on high-bandwidth links
• Deployment does not require changes to clients, servers, applications or network. Steelhead appliances simply drop into the network, with installation typically taking less than 15 minutes
• In the event of a WAN failure, Riverbed's Steelhead appliances allow remote office users to access their current file
