San Francisco, CA, August 19, 2008 – Riverbed Technology (Nasdaq: RVBD), the technology and market leader in wide-area data services (WDS), announced today that it will participate in the 31st Annual Educational Conference of the International Legal Technology Association, taking place August 25 – 28 at the Gaylord Texan Resort and Conference Center in Grapevine, Texas. Attendees can visit Riverbed® and learn about its WDS solution at the Voice and Data Communication Vendor Showcase, the Interwoven demo room and at the Riverbed booth (#807). In addition, two C-level IT executives that have deployed Riverbed WDS, Ralph Barber and Ben Weinberger, will share their real-world experiences as part of the conference agenda.

Riverbed currently works with 48 of the top 100 law firms based on an annual list published by American Lawyer. By deploying Riverbed Steelhead® appliances, law firms can centralize data stores to ensure security and consistency, while at the same time providing employees anywhere on the network with the fast access to information they need to do their jobs. With WDS, law firms are able to more efficiently share files and collaborate through industry-standard and custom applications. At this event attendees can learn how organizations can experience enhanced collaboration of Interwoven WorkSite – which manages the lifecycle of client and engagement files - in a centralized environment without sacrificing performance or scalability.

ILTA is an event for peer-networking and educational programs for legal technology professionals in 2008.
