Extreme Savings with Riverbed

The true power of WAN optimization lies in the fact that it can deliver strategic value while enabling your IT teams to cut unnecessary costs out of your operations. With WAN optimization, your IT department can research technology systems so that they can serve distributed users without massive local investments or very expensive network connectivity. For many Riverbed customers, the payback period is a matter of months due to substantial cost savings. Imagine providing these savings for your business:

• Cut server costs and routine IT maintenance. By enabling IT consolidation as well as virtualization for your branch office, WAN optimization is eliminating underutilized, hard-to-manage servers in remote locations while guaranteeing the same level of performance to those end users. This results in lower capital expenditures to refresh servers and also improves maintenance cycles. IT administrators manage fewer, large servers in a central location as opposed to potentially thousands of remote devices. End users notice little or no change in their daily operations.
• Invest less in disaster recovery – but get more. Today's businesses require protected data to meet industry and government regulations. But disaster recovery is typically a very expensive process. With WAN optimization, WAN backup and replication is accelerated and uses fewer network resources. That means that data can be backed up more frequently with less investment in the time and infrastructure required to do so.
• Push out network upgrades – by two years or more. WAN optimization fundamentally allows businesses to get more out of the infrastructure they already have. By dramatically cutting utilization of existing bandwidth, routers, and switches, WAN optimization can push out upgrades of this expensive infrastructure by two years or more, according to a number of analyst firms. That means businesses can accommodate more growth and more users without investing in additional networking infrastructure.
