Overview: With the growing importance of anywhere, anytime access for an increasingly dispersed workforce, IT managers are continually looking for ways to accelerate application performance across the wide area network (WAN).
Point products are available to improve one or another aspect of WAN performance, such as insufficient or congested bandwidth, impaired application performance, slow remote backup and replication, or obstacles to IT consolidation. However, IT managers would like a comprehensive wide-area solution that addresses all of these problems, so that users can enjoy LAN-like access to important data and applications regardless of their location.
One company that is offering the benefits of wide-area data services (WDS) is
Riverbed, whose product line, the Steelhead family of appliances, optimizes TCP/IP traffic and provides further application optimization to make it easier for organizations to accelerate the most important applications for users anywhere in the world. By accelerating application performance and reducing bandwidth utilization, the Riverbed
WDS solution is designed not only to improve application performance, but also to expedite the consolidation of IT infrastructure and enable faster network-based backup.
