Riverbed broadens Support for Enterprise Applications
Riverbed Technology has announced new features and capabilities to its Riverbed Optimization System (RiOS). With RiOS 7.0, Riverbed has expanded its already broad set of optimizations to include native support for hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) video, User Datagram Protocol (UDP), and IPv6, and has extended its existing optimizations for virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI). Quality of Service (QoS), scale and security enhancements also provide organizations with greater control over business-critical applications. This release reinforces the Riverbed commitment to optimize all types of applications that enterprises care about, and gives customers a performance platform that is designed for the applications of both today and tomorrow.
In addition, in RiOS 7.0 Riverbed has integrated Cascade Shark functionality into the Steelhead appliance to deliver on-demand packet capture and analysis, allowing customers to leverage their Steelhead appliance for branch monitoring and troubleshooting.
"Riverbed is a market leader because its product development is driven by customer needs. New support for UDP and IPv6 underscore our ongoing focus on expanding capabilities in RiOS to align with the new IT initiatives our customers undertake, based directly on our conversations with them. In addition, as the company with the broadest set of optimizations for the applications important to enterprises, we will continue to address dynamic applications and specific use cases such as disaster recovery, VDI and unified communications and collaboration (UCC)," said Miles Kelly, Senior Director, Product Marketing, Riverbed.
RiOS 7.0 is expected to be generally available in Q4 2011.
