Unlike other approaches to accelerate applications, a Riverbed's 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!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.
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.
