New Strategies for Optimising WAN Performance

More applications, more data, more users, more offices More of everything means more people relying on your WAN to perform better than it has ever performed before. Are you ready for the challenge?

Learn how wide-area data services (WDS) can give your company the edge that lets all of your employees work as if they were in the same office. With WDS, you can accelerate enterprise applications typically by five to 50 times and in some cases up to 100 times to remote offices, providing LAN-like access to data and applications anywhere throughout your enterprise. This can be done without expensive upgrades to your bandwidth and routers, making you a hero in the eyes end-users and the board too.

Attend this webinar to learn how to:

• Knowledge of how WDS can boost productivity and performance in remote offices in ways that additional bandwidth can't do
• Insight into the technical underpinnings of WDS and different approaches to the WAN performance problem
• Case studies applying WDS to problems as diverse as collaboration, IT consolidation, backup, and datacenter replication
• Strategies to deploy high-ROI projects based on WDS technology

How to Prevent WAN Latency from Impacting Virtualization and Consolidation Success
- Produced by Riverbed

Ready to take your IT virtual? Be careful. There is a hidden danger inherent in many virtualization projects. As you consolidate your mission critical servers and applications out of branch offices and back into the datacenter, you could introduce performance problems due to increased latency over your wide area network (WAN). This lag causes applications to become unacceptably slow for remote workers and threatens the success of your otherwise brilliant IT initiative.

Join Riverbed Product Marketing Manager Nik Rouda and Ziff Davis's own Michael Krieger as we delve into what will make your virtualization and consolidation projects truly successful. You will be surprised to discover new approaches to optimize your bandwidth, overcome latency, and accelerate applications for a virtualized IT infrastructure.

Attend so you can learn how to:

• Solve WAN latency and accelerate applications
• Deploy virtual packages to remote locations
• Get better results from your network without incurring new operating costs
• Improve your disaster recovery results in virtualized environments

Don't miss this insightful webinar. You'll discover why over 5,000 customers trust Riverbed to bring the world closer. And be sure to bring your questions to our live Q&A session following the presentation.
