Extreme Cost Savings: Saving Money and Improving Performance Simultaneously with WDS (WAN optimization)
– Produced by Riverbed

Organizations of all sizes strive to be more productive and run low cost operations. Particularly in difficult economic times, many companies will evaluate various cost-cutting initiatives in order to weather the storm. However, enterprises need to be careful to pursue cost cutting measures that won't negatively impact business operations or hinder growth in the long term. The paradox facing CIOs and IT managers is how to control or reduce costs while still providing strategic value for the business.

With WAN optimization, leading companies can slash network and IT costs while simultaneously improving application performance and business processes. By accelerating applications up to 100x, organizations can easily consolidate their IT infrastructure and minimize bandwidth utilization saving thousands or even millions of dollars annually. WAN optimization can also enable accelerated disaster recovery operations to minimize the impact and cost of downtime while also saving money on idle DR bandwidth links.

This webinar, sponsored by Riverbed, will feature Cindy Borovick, Research Vice President - Datacenter Networks service of IDC, and discuss industry challenges and cost-saving trends in times of economic uncertainty. The webinar will also cover how WAN optimization can help organizations save money while still delivering significant value to the company's bottom line, and review customer case studies on cost saving initiatives.

Attendees of this webinar will learn about:

• Major cost saving initiatives with WAN optimization
• The consolidation vs. performance trade-off
• Implementing a budget sensitive disaster recovery plan
