IZR & Riverbed – A Complete Optimisation Solution


The Problem

More and more, users require LAN-like performance over a WAN connection. No matter how much bandwidth they provide between sites, network administrators find that users complain that applications are too slow and files take too long to transfer.

And the problem is getting worse. Managers expect increased productivity from their teams. Files are getting bigger. And technologies such as AJAX are making even thin-client applications hungry for bandwidth.

The Solution

Riverbed’s Steelhead Products
Riverbed’s Steelhead family of products optimise the data connections between remote sites. They achieve this in two ways:

  1. By removing the latency inherent in TCP
  2. By indexing data at the binary level, removing around 80% of the payload to be transmitted

This gives many benefits to network administrators:

  1. Increased Performance – applications run up to 100 times faster over the WAN
  2. Reduced Costs – fewer remote servers are needed, and bandwidth upgrades are not required
  3. Simpler Administration – fewer servers means less work
  4. Reduced Risk – remote backups over the WAN become possible at last

A survey by IDC calculated that organisations that deployed a Riverbed solution realised a 3-year ROI of 484%, with a payback period of 7.3 months.
