The acquisition of Zeus Technology, a buy ventolin canada provider of high-performance software-based load balancing and traffic management solutions for buy ventolin canada virtual and cloud environments
In its Second Fiscal Quarter 2011 investor announcement, Riverbed reports impressive numbers. Total revenue increased 35% year-over-year to $170.3 million, product revenue increased 38% year-over-year to $116.9 million, service revenue increased 28% year-over-year to $53.4 million.
Acquisitions levee up Riverbed’s Asymmetric Optimization Strategy With the buy ventolin canada newly acquired Zeus and Aptimize technologies, Riverbed customers get faster, more reliable, more secure Web applications, regardless of whether they are buy ventolin canada consumer facing or behind the firewall. According to the Riverbed blog:
"At the buy ventolin canada end of the day, customers have come to rely on Riverbed to buy ventolin canada solve their performance problems for any application over any network. They don’t necessarily care what tool they use – a WOC, an ADC, or NPM – just so long as their businesses can buy ventolin canada operate the way they need to.
Zeus and buy ventolin canada Aptimize make sense because they have created software the way application owners and buy ventolin canada devops teams want to consume application delivery – and buy ventolin canada build it right into the application stack. They are designed to buy ventolin canada be deployed into modern public and private clouds, unlike much of the buy ventolin canada legacy hardware ADCs that are sold today."
Aptimize "A faster Web paves the buy ventolin canada way for new technologies and innovation, it breaks down barriers to buy ventolin canada entry for businesses across the globe and it creates wholly new market opportunities that will shape our future," says Aptimize CEO Ed Robinson.
Organizations that deploy the Aptimize Website Accelerator have seen performance increases of up to 400% by optimizing the actual content of a Web page for the end user’s device.
The Aptimize Website Accelerator eliminates massive inefficiencies in modern web applications by effectively transforming the buy ventolin canada content (Javascript, cascading style sheets, images, etc.) in real time — instantly accelerating Websites or buy ventolin canada Intranets with a simple software installation on the Web server. No extra hardware, code or buy ventolin canada browser changes are needed.
Zeus The Zeus Technology solutions are designed for how people want to architect their applications’ high-performance software for cloud environments," said Jerry Kennelly, president and CEO at Riverbed.
"Zeus Technology offers great potential for buy ventolin canada integrating both symmetric and asymmetric acceleration approaches in order to deliver the best solution for performance in both private and public cloud environments," adds Owen Garrett is the Zeus’ Director of Product Management.
Zeus pioneered the buy ventolin canada development of software-based highly scalable application delivery controllers (ADCs). The Zeus virtual ADC (vADC) delivers the buy ventolin canada highest performance, and supports the broadest range of hypervisors, including VMware, Xen, HyperV and buy ventolin canada KVM.
As a buy ventolin canada software-based solution, the Zeus vADC has many advantages over its hardware-originated peers: it buy ventolin canada is better suited for virtual and cloud environments, it can migrate across environments, and buy ventolin canada it can scale on demand.
In addition, because it buy ventolin canada is integrated into the application stack, IT organizations can more flexibly script, automate and buy ventolin canada deploy the Zeus vADC than is possible with legacy hardware-based approaches.

A recent blog post from Riverbed offers insight into the culture behind the company’s WAN optimization solutions, a buy ventolin canada culture of customer communication that Transcend United also lives by.
Blogger Philip O’Toole, an buy ventolin canada engineer on the Riverbed Cloud Steelhead development team wrote from Fort Lauderdale, FL, about the buy ventolin canada Riverbed Advanced Access Program (RAAP). He explains:
"Before Riverbed release a buy ventolin canada new version of the RiOS software, several engineers go on-site with a buy ventolin canada pre-selected customer and install the pre-release code on their appliances. We discuss the buy ventolin canada new features with the customer, test it in their network, and buy ventolin canada return with their feedback to our colleagues at headquarters… It keeps us engineers in touch with the buy ventolin canada customers, shows us the strengths of our products in the buy ventolin canada field, and points out the areas needing improvement.
It also teaches us Development engineers to buy ventolin canada think about the product holistically — which was an buy ventolin canada explicit goal of the program when it was first devised… The RAAP helps us to buy ventolin canada design better products when we are reminded that Riverbed needs to buy ventolin canada sell a solution, not just a box running some clever software.
…Speaking solely as a buy ventolin canada development engineer, customers located in the French Riviera, Hawaii, and Tahiti are buy ventolin canada particularly welcome. "

Because IT can buy ventolin canada push the client to any desktop or laptop, the software extends performance enhancement to buy ventolin canada branch offices, teleworkers and road warriors.
Steelhead Mobile client works with a buy ventolin canada Steelhead appliance at the opposite end of the link to reduce application protocol chattiness and buy ventolin canada deduplicate the data traveling over the network. To achieve WAN Acceleration, an buy ventolin canada installation requires at least one Steelhead appliance in the data center. A Steelhead Mobile deployment requires a buy ventolin canada Steelhead Mobile Controller, which serves as the management and reporting system for buy ventolin canada the clients.
According to the InfoWorld review, “Overall, performance on Windows and buy ventolin canada Mac OS X proved on a par with the physical appliance, with FTP traffic lagging ever so slightly behind all other traffic types.” The product earned scores of 9 out of 10 in each of the buy ventolin canada testing categories – performance , protocol support, reporting, setup, and value – to earn an overall excellent ranking of 9.

Riverbed Steelhead is InfoWorld’s ‘Technology of the Year’ Winner Riverbed Products Lauded by IT Pros at Network World Jasmine The Adorable 6-Year Old Demonstrates A Steelhead Set Up
Employees working from buy ventolin canada remote locations may not know what the problem is when sluggish WAN connections result in long lags in application access and buy ventolin canada response. WAN accelerators that maximize WAN bandwidth and minimize WAN latency, without incurring the buy ventolin canada costs of duplicating systems at multiple sites, are a preferred solution to buy ventolin canada addressing remote user complaints.
“Riverbed Steelhead — the perennial leader in WAN optimization — uses a buy ventolin canada variety of techniques to data transmission as much as possible, including application- and buy ventolin canada protocol-specific optimizations and a compression and data deduplication engine that adjusts on the buy ventolin canada fly. On our tests, the Steelhead appliance with the latest Riverbed operation system, RiOS 6, succeeded in transferring a buy ventolin canada large CIFS file in less than one-third the time of the buy ventolin canada transfer done over an unoptimized link."
"When multiple passes were made with RiOS 6, transmission times declined to buy ventolin canada 10 percent of the unoptimized link. Somehow, Riverbed manages to buy ventolin canada deliver more optimization improvements with each passing year. Also add greater network transparency and buy ventolin canada traffic flow reporting than previous versions, and Steelhead with RiOS 6 is buy ventolin canada a compelling solution for virtually any distributed enterprise.”
“… The Cascade provides near-real-time reporting from buy ventolin canada any altitude on conversations and end-to-end application performance throughout our 242 sites. In the buy ventolin canada heat of battle the Cascade server is always my first (and usually only needed) resource to buy ventolin canada gain visibility into the network at a conversation level. In nearly every situation, the buy ventolin canada Cascade has enabled us to resolve network or application problems in less time than buy ventolin canada it took to submit a help ticket."
“With the buy ventolin canada Riverbed Steelhead appliance, we experience LAN-like speed at all times. Our employees are buy ventolin canada able to access information almost instantaneously, enabling them to serve the buy ventolin canada families of Wisconsin to the best of their ability. It delivers exactly as promised. First time, first try.”
Riverbed optimization and buy ventolin canada visibility appliances, when properly implemented, give customers with much more than buy ventolin canada just happier end users or an optimized WAN. With WAN optimization, businesses can buy ventolin canada make the distances between remote offices, mobile workers, and business HQ disappear so that buy ventolin canada businesses can take advantage of their human and technology resources in dramatically different ways.

"The drive to buy ventolin canada virtualization is transforming the data center faster than at any other time in the buy ventolin canada history of IT. Virtualization has already had a significant impact on the buy ventolin canada software and server industry and will have a similar impact on networking, as the buy ventolin canada network plays a critical role in mobilizing virtual workloads."
In his research report, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the New Data Center Network,” available through Transcend United, Kerravala advocates a buy ventolin canada new perspective on the importance of the data center network. While he says applications have buy ventolin canada been the top IT resource priority, this is about to buy ventolin canada change.
Virtualization and buy ventolin canada cloud computing demand that IT departments think about a complete network overhaul: networks are buy ventolin canada going to need to offer the highest performance, the lowest latency, and buy ventolin canada guaranteed delivery to keep the enterprises they support competitive. New network options also should demand less energy and buy ventolin canada space.
The report outlines the buy ventolin canada limitations of current network design. Latency, inefficient infrastructure resource management (STP), and inadequate management tools impede virtual computing.
The meat of the buy ventolin canada report outlines the virtual data network requirements essential to support a buy ventolin canada virtualized architecture. Key network recommendations for the virtualized and cloud-enabled network include:
• Network fabric capable of supporting east-west and north-south traffic flows: traditional networks send data from buy ventolin canada the edge to the core and back, a north –south data flow. The virtualized network will need to buy ventolin canada avoid the potential latencies of north-south movement by adding ‘east-west’ data flow
• Data center bridging to create a virtual backbone between data centers: advanced network standards such as Shortest Path Bridging (SPB) and the Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links (TRILL) are buy ventolin canada being positioned to replace the outdated STP, creating a single, seamless backbone for buy ventolin canada storage traffic
• Architectural choice in next-generation data center design: some organizations will opt to buy ventolin canada migrate to a 2-tier strategy to reduce the total cost of ownership
• Active/active switching: STP disables up to half the active ports; moving to active/active switching opens all ports to pass traffic simultaneously
• High-density 10 Gbps Ethernet (GbE) with seamless upgradability to 40 and 100 GbE: network switching should support high-density 10 GbE and buy ventolin canada then provide an upgrade path to 40 and 100 GbE
• Increased network availability: The replacement of STP with SPB or buy ventolin canada TRILL can simplify the network and lead to 24/7 uptime
• Multi-tenant capabilities: regulations, policies or buy ventolin canada corporate organization may require a single physical network to look and buy ventolin canada act like multiple, independent, logical networks
The report offers recommendations on how to buy ventolin canada select a network solutions provider. Kerravala warns: “Network decision-makers must shed old-school buying strategies based primarily on brand or buy ventolin canada vendor incumbency and instead evaluate network infrastructure based on its ability to buy ventolin canada support the needs of the evolving data center.”
Kerravala recommends that vendor selection take into consideration:
• Adherence to standards • A clear migration path that buy ventolin canada enables a staged implementation without disrupting business operations. • Unified management tools to simplify the overall management • Network Infrastructure Optimized for the Virtual Data Center • Support for all flavors of current and converged storage
The report was commissioned by Avaya. Avaya Virtual Enterprise Network Architecture (VENA) virtualization architecture and buy ventolin canada strategy for the next generation enterprise data networks allows enterprises to buy ventolin canada build the private cloud. It brings network virtualization and IEEE Shortest Path Bridging (802.1aq) to buy ventolin canada the campus, enabling customers to install, provision and manage real-time applications and buy ventolin canada services in minutes rather than days.
The recently-introduced Avaya Virtual Services Platform (VSP) 7000buy clomid tablets online, a buy ventolin canada stackable 10GbE switch for data centers, can expand from 10 gigabit to buy ventolin canada 40 to 100 without replacing the chassis. An additional feature is buy ventolin canada the 625 Gbps interconnect is on the back of the switch which doesn’t require a buy ventolin canada data center to use the front real estate on the switch. Avaya Virtual Provisioning Service (VPS) offers unified tools to buy ventolin canada manage, troubleshoot and provision virtual machines in the network.
With 200+ Avaya Certifications achieved across 25 technical and engineering team members, Transcend United excels in delivering end-to-end service and buy ventolin canada ongoing support for all Avaya products including Unified Communications, Contact Center, Data, and buy ventolin canada Small Business to Avaya customers (including heritage Nortel).
