Riverbed WAN Optimization and Application Acceleration

Application Acceleration: LAN Speed Performance for your WAN?

Riverbed's application acceleration platform provides secure LAN like application delivery across the wide area network. Businesses benefit tremendously from the productivity gains realized with acceleration technology deployed across the WAN.

They provide substantial operational and capital savings by reducing server and storage sprawl, the number of necessary software licenses, IT support staff and WAN link costs. With application accelerators you are also able to gain tremendous application visibility throughout the organization.

Many enterprises believe that the key to accelerating applications is WAN optimization. But optimizing the network - via compression, QoS, or TCP optimization - is only one part of the solution needed to truly improve applications' performance across the network.

Unlike other approaches to accelerate applications, a Riverbed application accelerator can provide dramatic performance increases - typically by five to 50 times and in some cases up to 100 times faster, across a broad range of apps.

With RiOS, Riverbed's acceleration software, organizations can take advantage of Riverbed's unique acceleration techniques. These tremendous performance increases allow customers to dramatically change the way they do business. Branch office collaboration becomes possible and easy to deploy. IT consolidation can finally take place. Network backups and replication are now possible and efficient. Lastly, data can be more easily secured through IT centralization.

Application Acceleration is the solution every IT professional dreams about!

How can application accelerators addresses Business Challenges

Businesses today depend on a wide variety of applications to make their organizations function effectively. After all, how many organizations run solely on file sharing or email? Any effective solution for accelerating applications must provide significant acceleration for all key applications that cross the WAN.

Most WAN optimization pproaches look at the performance problem from just one angle - the network. But the network is only one of the factors slowing applications' performance. Because of the limited approach taken by many WAN optimization vendors, businesses that deploy these products typically see just 10 to 20 percent improvement in application performance, and similarly small gains in bandwidth utilization. In the case of QoS-only products, enterprises see no acceleration overall, they merely make trade-offs between reserving bandwidth for one application at the expense of another application.

To make the application performance leap that businesses need, a radically different approach must be taken: Simultaneously address WAN bandwidth constraints, TCP's behavior in high latency networks, and inefficiencies in the applications themselves.


RiOS Software - The Integrated Approach to Accelerating Applications

Riverbed has created a comprehensive solution to the application acceleration challenge. Instead of just looking at the network, the Riverbed Optimization System (RiOS) takes an integrated approach that simultaneously addresses the network, storage, and application elements of performance.

A RiOS's application accelerator provides an application-independent foundation that automatically optimizes all applications that run over TCP. RiOS also provides specific optimization solutions for widely-used applications such as file sharing, email, databases, Web (including secure HTTPS) applications, and more. By combining an application independent foundation with application specific modules, RiOS provides a more powerful, flexible architecture that can deliver higher acceleration and also deliver additional optimizations to customers for optimal performance of applications.
