Highlights from VMware PEX
DESKTOP COMPUTING
Riverbed helps organizations get the most out of their View deployments by overcoming the performance barriers of delivering virtual desktops over wide area networks.
Optimize virtual desktop solutions cost-effectively
To meet the demands of end users and IT organizations, enterprises are turning to desktop virtualization to deliver greater flexibility and reliability while increasing the efficiency and security of managing desktop environments. However, the promises of desktop virtualization are not always easy to realize in complex, real-world deployments.
VMware View allows IT to simplify and automate the management of thousands of desktops and to securely deliver desktop as a service to users from a central location with levels of availability and reliability unmatched by traditional PCs. By delivering secure access to applications and data to any device, when and where the user needs it, VMware View provides end users with the highest levels of mobility and flexibility.
Steelhead WAN Optimization
Riverbed Steelhead® appliances overcome WAN bandwidth and latency constraints to improve the performance of distributed virtual desktop environments and ensure end-user productivity.
Granite Edge VSI
Granite™ products enable IT organizations to project servers from the data center to the branch office, delivering local LAN speed access to files, applications and storage — even during WAN outages. They ensure a streamlined, secure way for IT to centrally control and protect resources.
Cascade Application-Aware NPM
Cascade® application-aware network performance management solutions provide several inexpensive methods for achieving remote site visibility. These include capturing packets from existing Steelhead appliances, using Virtual Cascade Shark on vSphere, or by collecting NetFlow from existing network infrastructure.
Data Center
Together, VMware and Riverbed allow global companies to effectively consolidate servers and implement cost-effective IT initiatives.
Consolidation without compromise
Enterprises are increasingly looking to consolidate their file/application server infrastructure from remote offices to reduce costs, simplify management, and meet compliance demands. In addition, they are looking to increase server utilization and lower their TCO.
Riverbed solutions help enterprises unlock the true potential of virtualization by enabling the consolidation of IT resources from branch offices to central sites or data centers without negatively impacting the end-user experience. Enterprises can reduce the capital costs of acquiring new servers and the operational costs of deploying them in remote locations while gaining the ability to manage them from a central site.
Consolidation with Steelhead
Consolidation remains a top IT priority in businesses across verticals as organizations seek greater cost efficiency, improved data protection, and flexible resource provisioning. By enabling data center consolidation, infrastructure centralization, and branch services consolidation, Riverbed has helped 1000s of customers achieve business agility.
Cascade Enhances Consolidation
Cascade application-aware network performance management enhances consolidation efforts by as much as 20% (IDC), providing visibility into network and application performance and dependencies to enhance planning, manage capacity, and accelerate troubleshooting before, during, and after deployment.
vSphere Replication & Steelhead
vSphere Replication provides a cost-effective and simple-to-manage solution for replicating virtual machines and their associated data between remote locations. When faced with the performance challenges inherent in moving large amounts of data over a WAN, Steelhead WAN optimization solutions combined with vSphere Replication can be leveraged to ensure that data replication objectives can be met, while reducing the cost of WAN infrastructure.
Cloud & Virtualization
Riverbed and VMware have solutions to help enterprises overcome challenges moving workloads between clouds.
Improve cloud performance & flexibility
Cloud computing changed the paradigm of computing within and beyond the boundaries of the data center, and now software-defined networks (SDN) enable the creation of virtual data centers in mere minutes.
Moving workloads between clouds in a secure and efficient manner is more imperative than ever before. The movement of data across WANs comes with its own challenges that need to be addressed in order to successfully move workloads between clouds.
vCloud & the
Steelhead Product Family
Steelhead WAN optimization appliances can work within and across clouds to enhance VMware vCloud Connector to make movement of data and workloads over long distances feasible. And using vCloud™ Director, vShield™ Manager, and the vCloud Ecosystem Framework, customers can easily enable Steelhead® Cloud Edition capabilities into their cloud infrastructure to deliver WAN optimization as a service.
VXLAN & Cascade Network Performance Management
Cascade® application-aware network performance management solutions now support comprehensive monitoring and troubleshooting for VMware VXLAN overlay networks. They provide end-to-end visibility across the WAN, LAN, and within virtualized environments and software-defined data centers.
vFabric Application Director & Stingray ADC
Provision and scale your high performance applications faster in a hybrid cloud environment, and accelerate time to market and reduce costs with out of the box application blueprints.
