Product Overview

Riverbed products are powered by the Riverbed Optimization System (RiOS®) software platform, which is based on patented technologies that address four main solution areas in a variety of simple-to-deploy IT appliances and software products:

  • Application Acceleration - Riverbed accelerates all TCP traffic - Mail, file transfers, FTP, Web, Notes, databases, ERP, backup applications, and other key enterprise applications - delivering LAN-like performance and improved application visibility that dramatically improves collaboration, file sharing and productivity for distributed enterprises.
  • Bandwidth Optimization - Riverbed eliminates redundant WAN traffic, effectively expanding bandwidth by a factor of 10 or more. This reduces congestion, makes room for other applications, and enables network managers to delay or avoid WAN bandwidth upgrades, or even de-provision their current bandwidth.
  • IT Infrastructure Consolidation - Riverbed enables network architects to consolidate file servers, email servers, NAS and tape libraries from remote offices to data centers - without degrading end user performance. Successful site consolidation cuts IT CapEx, maintenance and management costs dramatically.
  • Backup & Replication Acceleration - Riverbed reduces backup windows and transfer times for applications like NetApp SnapMirror, EMC SRDF/A, and IBM Tivoli - enabling organizations to quickly and securely back up and replicate data across the WAN from systems that are hundreds, or even thousands of miles from the data center.
