Riverbed Introduces Asymmetric Solutions Portfolio
Riverbed Technology introduces Riverbed Stingray, its new portfolio of asymmetric software- and virtual-based offerings, including application delivery controllers (ADC), Web content optimization (WCO) and Web application firewalls. The Stingray product family is based on technologies acquired from Zeus Technology and Aptimize Limited in July 2011. With its range of best-of-breed products, Riverbed can tailor the best possible approach to deliver performance from the application to the end user, creating a richer end-user experience, enabling more productive employees, and cutting the cost of IT infrastructure in the data center, cloud and branch office. The Stingray product family is comprised of Stingray Traffic Manager, Stingray Web Application Firewall and Stingray Aptimizer, and is available in a range of cost-effective configurations for small and medium businesses (SMBs) and enterprises, including a new monthly subscription model with an entry price less than $200 USD for Stingray Traffic Manager.
"The virtual application delivery market is growing rapidly as enterprise customers continue optimizing datacenter deployments through consolidation as well as migrating to both public and private cloud environments," said Cindy Borovick, program vice president, Enterprise Communications and Datacenter Networks at IDC. "Riverbed is helping accelerate this growth as Stingray provides enterprise customers with a simple, yet powerful and flexible solution that integrates into their application stack and quickly optimizes and accelerates applications hosted in the cloud."
Stingray Aptimizer is a WCO solution, which allows enterprise customers to deliver both internal Web applications, like Microsoft SharePoint, and external Web applications, like e-commerce and highly customized websites, much faster. Typical websites can have 50-200 file requests, and for each request, in addition to the network latency, the performance of websites can be severely impacted. Stingray Aptimizer reduces page load times and reduces bandwidth by instantly transforming the content (multiple image formats, javascript, CSS files, etc.) that is delivered from a Web server to the website viewer, accelerating website performance in some cases by up to 400%.
