Delivers Up to 60x Acceleration in WAN Performance and Up to 99% Bandwidth Reduction for Data Replication Workloads between Datacenters
Riverbed Technology has expanded its Riverbed Steelhead wide area network (WAN) optimization product family, delivering a new purpose-build appliance – the Steelhead DX Edition 8000 Series – to address the unique needs of datacenter-to-datacenter data replication workloads, delivering up to 60 times WAN performance acceleration and up to 99 percent bandwidth reduction. With the Riverbed Steelhead DX Edition 8000 Series, organizations can transfer and protect more data more often, with less risk and cost and recover data far more rapidly to improve business continuity.
“The Steelhead product family is already the most complete WAN optimization solution in the market, and with this announcement we added another important and business-critical use case,” said Paul O’Farrell, senior vice president and general manager, Steelhead Products Group, Riverbed. “The new Steelhead DX Edition eliminates distance between datacenters as a barrier to achieving true location-independent computing, which in this case means that data can be moved, stored and backed-up regardless of where facilities are located, but with performance similar to a local area network. Only Riverbed offers a complete solution for both large-scale branch-to-datacenter and datacenter-to-datacenter environments.”
The Riverbed Application Performance Platform is a set of integrated solutions that give companies the flexibility to host applications and data in the locations that best serve the business while ensuring the flawless delivery of those apps to better leverage global resources, radically reduce the cost of running their business and maximize employee productivity.
The Riverbed Steelhead DX Edition 8000 Series is generally available.
