The Top 3 Goals of IT Organizations

Increase worker productivity - boost top line revenue and business achievements: Focus on the ROI and NPV Speed up applications Enable collaboration Let your IT staff be strategic

13

Reduce costs - impact bottom line profits and find budget: Focus on your TCO, capital and operational expenses Reduce expenses on monthly network operating Defer network upgrades More efficiently use IT resources

Mitigate risk - Protect against unplanned service outages and ensuing loss: Focus on your cost of downtime and negative impact on reputation Protect more data in available windows Eliminate costly and risky backup in all your branches Enable faster disaster recovery

Use Cases

17


17

Bandwidth Optimization

60-99% reduction in WAN utilization

Data

Problem: How to avoid a network bandwidth upgrade, to make better use of existing bandwidth, or to enable other applications (like VoIP or Citrix traffic) to perform better.

Solution: Data streamlining• Single instance data store across all sites for appliances and mobile clients, giving

extreme scalability• Very high granularity in identifying data matches (SDR)• NOT fragmented with separate data per each peer• NOT a cache of the files with inconsistency problems

18


Consolidation

Problem: How to simplify and cut costs from IT infrastructure by centralizing servers and storage, WITHOUT compromising end user performance.

Solution: WAN optimization for consolidation project success• Accelerated connections to centralized application, email and file servers• Reduced cost in hardware and management of remote sites• Increased efficiency and utilization of IT infrastructure• Reduced risk with data consolidated into secure sites• Improved compliance with industry and government security regulations

19


Virtualization

Problem: Server and desktop virtualization projects success can suffer from issues of bandwidth, latency, and added load on the WAN.

Solution: Avoid the performance pitfalls of virtualization.• Accelerate application & service delivery to (now remote) end users.• Improve response time and enable QoS for virtual desktops.• Move virtual machines quickly for operational flexibility.• Increase disaster recovery capabilities by swiftly replicating virtual machines.• Do all of the above while saving on networking costs.

20


Data Protection Use Cases

Problem: How to protect data with an effective DR strategy covering storage growth, network limitations, and many sites.

Solution: Protect more data, recovery faster, and reduce costs with DR specific optimizations.

Centralize backup• Backup over WAN

» Eliminate tapes and hardware in branch offices, reduce costs & reduce risk• Consolidate servers and backup within datacenter

» Centralize storage operations, without impacting branch user performance Improve replication

• Branch to data center, or data center to data center» Defer network bandwidth upgrades, by reducing utilization and overcoming latency » Shorten time required which lets you shorten windows or protect more data» Reduce impact on other WAN applications, by freeing up bandwidth

Riverbed scales to the largest successful deployments29

Australia 230+ sites deployed, driven by performance for Web and office applications

Global deployment for one of largest network presences in the world; Uses Riverbed in “network in a box” field deployments

300 appliances deployed across the country. Main driver is the consolidation of SharePoint and .NET applications

Competitive take out; Backups prior to the installation of the Steelhead devices use to take days now take 2 to 3 hrs to complete.

100+ appliances deployed. Driver was data center consolidation down to 1 main data center. Payback of $30 million over 5 years

Optimized WAN Transfer

1. Request is seen by client-side Steelhead2. Client-side Steelhead has knowledge of the objects on the page3. Client-side Steelhead forwards requests of all page objects in parallel4. RiOS streamlining optimizes WAN transfer5. Steelhead appliance learns about the objects/pages if it didn’t know them before

Intelligent learning mechanism more effective than any other method

• Mobile is an OEM product (AcceleNet)• Mobile not integrated with WAAS

1. CIFS2. MAPI3. NFS4. MS-SQL5. SSL6. Encrypted MAPI

• Single-instance for all traffic• Same data-store for mobile traffic• Same data-store for all peers

• Peer-based data store• Object caches (file, web)• Mobile client uses different store

Robust networking optionsEasier integration into large complex networks

• 3 Transport modes• 3 TCP addressing modes• Optional QoS enforcement• Interceptor for clustering• Asymmetric routing support• 30+ features unsupported by WAAS

• 1 Transport mode• 1 TCP addressing modes• No QoS enforcement• No support for asymmetric routes• May require IOS or router upgrades

Robust virtualized environmentMore complete branch officeconsolidation

• Built on VMware’s VMserver• Up to five modules; up to 2 GB ea• Tap system to interact with

traffic before or after optimization

• Built on KVM• Each blade limited to 512 MB• No capability to interact with

optimized WAN traffic
