WAN Acceleration: What's all the buzz about?

Given the importance of anytime, anywhere application access, IT professionals like yourself are turning to WAN accelerators to improve application delivery performance across their wide area networks.

By using WAN acceleration technology, you can provide LAN-like access to data and applications anywhere throughout the enterprise network, allowing for real time collaboration for users in branch offices and mobile workers around the world.

"The statistics say it all! Our overall WAN bandwidth reduction was 85% with the Steelheads in place." - Robert Osborne, Mooresville Consolidated Schools Corp. "Riverbed is reducing my Citrix printing traffic by 70%! The users have given me great feedback." - Doug Cornell, Western Oilfields Supply Co. / Rain For Rent "Tredent went to bat for us to get the discounts we needed to get the entire project within our budget!" - Tony Pellegrini, Apollo Professional Solutions, Inc.

Are your users complaining of slow applications?

Trying to consolidate your server & storage environment?

Need faster data replication from your disaster recovery site?

These are many of the challenges you face these days. Luckily, there is hope. We have successfully deployed Riverbed's solutions in many different customer network environments.

Finally, there is a solution that really allows you to get control of the applications that are so critical to the business. WAN acceleration technology is your answer!

By addressing the three main problems plaguing your wide area network (high latency, low bandwidth, and chatty protocols), WAN accelerator devices improve the throughput of applications that your users depend on every day: including file sharing, email, backup, document management, custom applications, databases, CAD, Notes, and FTP, as well as ERP and CRM solutions.

Only Riverbed's WAN acceleration solution can address all of your critical applications. Riverbed's network acceleration appliances typically improve transmission speeds by 5 to 50x and in some cases up to 100x!

These appliances are not focused on improving just one or two applications: so all of your WAN traffic is accelerated, but no application is disrupted. These products have been tested and proven in the world's largest wide area networks and are simple to install and manage.

Riverbed's wide area network acceleration appliances deliver better performance than any other vendor in the market and ther appliances are so easy to install that even your office manager can do it.

Tredent has more certified Riverbed RCSP engineers than any other partner in the US. They are trained, certified and understand Cisco networks and the Riverbed suite of acceleration solutions to ensure your investment in WAN acceleration. Riverbed's solutions have had an unbelievable ROI for our customers. (4 to 12 months with CapX purchase)

• More Secure Data

WAN accelerators transparently optimize all your WAN traffic using software known as RiOS (Riverbed Optimization System). RiOS intelligently integrates elements of storage, applications, and networks with the technology's four secret weapons:

WAN Acceleration Secret Weapon #1 - Data Streamlining
Data streamlining optimizes all WAN traffic, including UDP and TCP applications, to sharply reduce bandwidth consumption of Wide Area Networks. It also includes advanced QoS mechanisms to prioritize packets and allocate bandwidth by application, taking into account both bandwidth requirements and latency sensitivity.

WAN Acceleration Secret Weapon #2 - Transport Streamlining
Transport streamlining reduces the number of TCP packets typically by 65 to 98% and overcomes TCP limitations by adapting window scale, loss handling, congestion notification, and more. It also enables greater utilization of high bandwidth, high latency connections with high-speed TCP capabilities.

WAN Acceleration Secret Weapon #3 - Application Streamlining
Application streamlining reduces application protocol chattiness, providing massive throughput increases to applications including Windows file sharing, Exchange, Web, MS-SQL, NFS and UNIX-based applications.

WAN Acceleration Secret Weapon #4 - Management Streamlining
enables easy deployment through auto discovery of peers and auto interception of traffic, with no reconfigurations of clients, servers, or routers. For simpler ongoing management, RiOS provides powerful Web-based and command line interfaces for fine grained reporting on all traffic, appliance configuration, and a central management console to manage large-scale deployments easily.

The performance and simplicity of Riverbed's acceleration devices are changing the way business gets done. From day one, Riverbed's WAN accelerators were designed to address the concerns expressed by IT, and Riverbed continuously relies on their global client base to innovate and improve upon their WAN acceleration solutions.
