Riverbed Technology, the IT infrastructure performance company for networks, applications and storage, today announced that it will participate at EMC World 2009 taking place May 18 - 21 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, FL. In addition to visiting the Riverbed(R) booth (#737), attendees can listen to Riverbed spokesperson Nik Rouda provide insight on the role of wide area network (WAN) optimization in EMC(R) replication environments.
Riverbed Steelhead(R) appliances allow companies to accelerate disaster recovery processes while reducing overall IT costs. To address the concerns of organizations with large data centers and strategic disaster recovery initiatives, Riverbed recently announced it has obtained EMC qualification for its Steelhead appliances to work with EMC SRDF(R)/A (Symmetrix Remote Data Facility/Asynchronous). By removing huge amounts of repetitive data from the WAN during SRDF/A operations, Steelhead appliances can dramatically reduce bandwidth requirements associated with protecting more data.
To obtain additional details on the benefits of WAN optimization in EMC replication environments, attendees can attend the following session:
Who: Nik Rouda, senior product marketing manager, Riverbed
When: Tuesday, May 19, 1:00 p.m. - 1:30 p.m.
Where: Theatre #2 (Booth 701)
What: When Disaster Strikes: The Role of WAN Optimization in EMC Replication Environments EMC replication technologies such as SRDF/A provide long-distance disaster recovery solutions to protect the most vital information assets in enterprises. In order to maintain the high end-to-end throughput requirements and stringent RPO/RTO targets necessary to protect such assets, Riverbed provides a solution to minimize WAN bandwidth utilization to ensure that data is protected and business is never interrupted.
Attendees will learn how a WAN optimization solution can ensure that an organization’s data protection strategy is ready for any disaster.
The presentation will cover:
– How Riverbed can help organizations reduce bandwidth requirements
– How to improve performance for SRDF/A over the WAN
– How to reduce total cost of ownership (TCO)
