What: Application acceleration everywhere. Riverbed delivers the best user experience across networks, locations and devices, while helping customers lower IT costs and focus on business priorities - like maximizing return on Microsoft business environment investments for greater business productivity.

At Microsoft TechEd North America, Riverbed Technology (RVBD), the leader in application performance infrastructure, will demonstrate application acceleration across Microsoft business environments delivered by the Riverbed Application Performance Platform™. The Riverbed Application Performance Platform is the only complete solution in the market that optimizes application and data delivery and provides the visibility to detect and fix performance issues before end users notice a problem.  

Riverbed solutions make SaaS and cloud applications - such as Microsoft Office 365, Microsoft Azure and Microsoft SharePoint Online - perform as though hosted in their own data centers, and also provide enterprise-scale, intelligent end-to-end application, data, and network optimization. Through their ongoing strategic relationship, Riverbed and Microsoft together enable enterprises to move to cloud and virtualized Microsoft environments without compromising application performance. This results in better end-user productivity and lower infrastructure costs.
