The Riverbed Technology Alliance (RTA) provides the industry's leading solutions to complex enterprise application, network, and storage challenges. The alliance is comprised of a select group of technology companies that have partnered with Riverbed in order to jointly develop, market, and deliver solutions to enterprise customers and drive revenue and value to both companies. RTA Partners are comprised of complementary technology companies who share a common vision of accelerating application performance, simplifying network management and infrastructure, reducing replication and backup time-frames, and delivering significant savings as customers increasingly use the wide area network (WAN) to enable global business.
The Riverbed Technology Alliance Program offers three levels of membership to companies large and small that want to partner with Riverbed on various levels of solution development and integration.
- RTA Member-This basic level of membership allows partners to validate their products with Riverbed and engage in limited marketing and sales activities.
- RTA Elite Partner-This level of partnership is an integrated relationship between Riverbed and the Elite Partner to do extensive solution testing and identify product synergies. Elite partners are also able to become officially “Riverbed Tested” which is a formal Riverbed evaluation program that ensures interoperability with Riverbed products. A go-to-market plan is also developed and executed.
- Global RTA Partner– INVITE ONLY – Global Partners are global, strategic relationships with long-term revenue and product goals that have global reach, strong brand equity in enterprise markets or verticals, global business implications and a broad business portfolio. This level is invite-only and requires extensive solutions testing and development, potential joint development, as well as a commitment of global resources.
