WAN Acceleration
Riverbed WAN Optimization and Application Acceleration

WAN Accelerators have changed IT forever!

Most IT Managers, IT Directors and CIOs have heard all the buzz about WAN accelerators and how they change the IT landscape. With so many vendors jumping into the WAN acceleration market it can be hard to understand what separates one solution from another. Below you will learn about network accelerators and what makes up a comprehensive solution.

Given the need for anytime, anywhere access to critical applications, IT departments are turning to network acceleration technology to speed up application performance across their wide area networks. Using these accelerators, the IT department can deliver LAN like performance to data and applications anywhere throughout the corporate network.

  • "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.


Riverbed's WAN optimizers provide the first comprehensive solution to a host of problems that plague critical apps that are accessed at the branch office across the WAN. This includes:

  • Poor application performance at the branch office
  • Expensive or congested WAN circuits going out to remote offices
  • Challenges with consolidating server and storage infrastructure
  • Inability to complete network backups and replication in a timely manner
  • Increasing need to address mobile workers

Unlike point products that improve one part of the performance problems of Wide Area Networks - like data compression, QoS, or TCP optimization - Riverbed's WAN optimization appliances are a comprehensive solution to application performance problems.


Riverbed's Wide Area Network Accelerators - The "Best of Breed" Solution

Riverbed's devices encompasses several different product categories. Whether a business is seeking to make the most of its existing investment in wide area network bandwidth by reducing traffic, or aims to accelerate the performance of its critical applications by addressing latency and chatty protocols, the best WAN accelerator solution addresses all aspects of the problem at once.

Riverbed's WAN accelerator is the superset of several existing categories:

  • Application Acceleration
  • WAN Optimization
  • Wide Area File Services (WAFS)
  • QoS and Traffic Shaping
  • Web Caching

Unlike these individual approaches that only address a single cause of poor application performance across the wide area network, a complete WAN accelerator solution enables the benefits of all of these approaches within a single architecture.

Using Riverbed's appliances, businesses can improve application performance across the WAN typically by 5 to 50 times and in some cases up to 100 times, and can simultaneously reduce WAN bandwidth utilization by 65 to 95%. These dramatic results allow businesses to take advantage of their WANs, IT infrastructure, and critical applications in ways that they had never imagined were possible.

D-Link NetDefend DFL-260

Alan Stevens, Personal Computer World , Friday 26 June 2009 at 10:00:00 All in one threat protection for the small business D-Link’s NetDefend DFL-260 is a UTM (Unified Threat Management) appliance which, at first glance, offers the same firewall/VPN facilities as the cheaper DFL-210 we reviewed back in the September 2007 issue. However, whereas the DFL-210 is very much an entry level product, the new DFL-260 adds anti-virus and more sophisticated intrusion protection options, t

If you haven’t looked at WAN optimizer appliances, now’s the time. And they get more important with these “New Desktops”

Citrix bought a company called Orbital Data back in July 2006 which ultimately led to the creation of Citrix’s WANscaler line of appliances. This was the first time I really started paying attention to proper WAN accelerators or WAN optimizers. Sure, I’d been using Packeteer (and Sitara and Allot) for years for basic Quality-of-Service shaping to protect ICA on the network, but the whole concept of a device that accelerates TCP connections, caches and dedupes network traffic, and...
