Riverbed Technology helps organizations build and migrate to a flexible, high-performance hybrid infrastructure of public and private clouds to realize cost reduction, resilience, and scalability. Organizations can find the optimal balance of resources hosted in their own data centers or various cloud service providers.
Organizations benefit from moving operations into the cloud where providers takeover much of the responsibility for delivering IT services. To maximize these benefits, however, requires solutions that enable:
Discovery and dependency mapping: Regardless of whether the plan is to consolidate a few servers to the public cloud or move entire data centers to a private cloud model, Riverbed solutions can help accelerate the project, achieve planned savings sooner, and reduce the risk of outages and failed cutovers.
Performance and scalability: The enhanced speed and efficiency required to effectively deliver high performance services spanning private and public IT infrastructures requires optimizing network, web content, and application delivery. Accelerating applications and data improves productivity, reduces required capacity and costs, and enables systems deployment flexibility.
Availability, security, and resiliency: Riverbed hybrid cloud solutions enhance IT service availability, data protection, and disaster recovery capabilities. Organizations can simplify analytics and troubleshooting, accelerate backup/restore and replication, and efficiently encrypt and de-duplicate cloud storage.
