What's the Riverbed Atlas buzz about?
The Atlas appliance is designed to allow organizations to increase their existing primary file storage capacity by up to 10X - without any changes to their existing storage infrastructure. And, when applied to backup data, the improvement can be greater than 20X. The hardware appliances leverage the de-duplication functionality of Steelhead appliances throughout an organization to remove up to 90% of existing data from primary file storage. The Atlas appliance does not store any data - enterprises will continue to use their existing storage infrastructure to do what it does best, which is storing and managing data. The Atlas appliance is designed to help scale existing file storage by enabling customers' existing file servers to serve more users and deliver a larger amount of data per device.
To realize its vision, Riverbed will build on its record of execution with WAN optimization and extend its core technology to data center storage and server infrastructure with its new product family, the Atlas appliance. The combination of the Steelhead and Atlas product families will allow organizations to eliminate data's inherent inefficiencies, streamlining data and allowing it to flow almost effortlessly throughout the enterprise, from creation to communication to storage. With the Atlas appliance, Riverbed will do for its customers' data at rest what Steelhead products have done for their data in motion - eliminate up to 95% of redundant data, which typically burdens IT infrastructure by slowing down access to data and applications and increasing costs and operational overhead of data management. The Riverbed vision will lead to lower costs, enhanced user experience, improved manageability, scalability and greater productivity.
"Data and how it is handled is critical to the distributed and collaborative nature of business in the 21st century. How an organization accesses, shares and stores its information are key business differentiators," said Eric Wolford, senior vice president, marketing and business development at Riverbed. "When IT infrastructure is overloaded with redundant data, there are efficiency and cost impacts across the organization. Our vision is to eliminate these inefficiencies through removing redundant data at every point between the data center and the end user. The implications of this approach affect IT infrastructure and budgets, the user experience, and business processes."
With its market leading and award-winning WAN optimization products, Riverbed exploited the redundancies inherent in data and overcame the performance limitations of applications and data transfers over WANs, speeding access by up to 100X and allowing organizations to consolidate their IT infrastructure, reduce bandwidth and IT costs and make employees more productive. Riverbed will apply its underlying architectural approach and technology advantage to storage and servers in the data center.
"Riverbed revolutionized the way organizations share data across the WAN. We came to market in 2004 with an architectural strength that allows us to continue to lead the WAN optimization market. When this unique approach of logically representing data was applied to the WAN, we were able to accelerate our customers' application performance by up to 100X," said Wolford. "Our vision is to extend that fundamental underlying architectural approach to data center storage and server infrastructure."
