How would you like to copy, move, and open 500 meg files in 13 seconds across your WAN?

The Enterprise Application Acceleration Challenge
IT managers are stuck in the middle of a tug-of-war: on one hand, distributed employees need full, fast application access. But on the other, management wants to consolidate IT infrastructure in order to reduce expenses and meet regulatory compliance. How can an organization balance these needs? This challenge spans both commonly accessed end-user applications such as MS Office, file sharing, and document management; and less visible administrative applications, such as backup and replication, software distribution, and database synchronization.

Furthermore, the cost of maintaining distributed IT is very high. Contrary to popular belief, increasing bandwidth will not help application performance very much. So if more bandwidth isn’t the answer, then what is? Let’s take a look at Riverbed Technology.
