Riverbed
Riverbed develops IT infrastructure appliances that deliver LAN-like performance for applications on WANs. Riverbed's solutions are an innovation fusion of patent-pending advances in the areas of compression, caching and protocol acceleration.
Until the development of Riverbed's Transaction Acceleration technology, enterprise IT architects have worked around the problem of WAN performance primarily by deploying redundant infrastructure in remote sites. Then, a combination of replication, content management, backup and off-site data management dealt with the related problems of compliance, backup and disaster recovery.
