The acquisition of Zeus Technology, a metformin prescription medicine provider of high-performance software-based load balancing and traffic management solutions for metformin prescription medicine 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 metformin prescription medicine newly acquired Zeus and Aptimize technologies, Riverbed customers get faster, more reliable, more secure Web applications, regardless of whether they are metformin prescription medicine consumer facing or behind the firewall. According to the Riverbed blog:
"At the metformin prescription medicine end of the day, customers have come to rely on Riverbed to metformin prescription medicine 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 metformin prescription medicine operate the way they need to.
Zeus and metformin prescription medicine Aptimize make sense because they have created software the way application owners and metformin prescription medicine devops teams want to consume application delivery – and metformin prescription medicine build it right into the application stack. They are designed to metformin prescription medicine be deployed into modern public and private clouds, unlike much of the metformin prescription medicine legacy hardware ADCs that are sold today."
Aptimize "A faster Web paves the metformin prescription medicine way for new technologies and innovation, it breaks down barriers to metformin prescription medicine 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 metformin prescription medicine content (Javascript, cascading style sheets, images, etc.) in real time — instantly accelerating Websites or metformin prescription medicine Intranets with a simple software installation on the Web server. No extra hardware, code or metformin prescription medicine 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 metformin prescription medicine 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 metformin prescription medicine development of software-based highly scalable application delivery controllers (ADCs). The Zeus virtual ADC (vADC) delivers the metformin prescription medicine highest performance, and supports the broadest range of hypervisors, including VMware, Xen, HyperV and metformin prescription medicine KVM.
As a metformin prescription medicine software-based solution, the Zeus vADC has many advantages over its hardware-originated peers: it metformin prescription medicine is better suited for virtual and cloud environments, it can migrate across environments, and metformin prescription medicine it can scale on demand.
In addition, because it metformin prescription medicine is integrated into the application stack, IT organizations can more flexibly script, automate and metformin prescription medicine deploy the Zeus vADC than is possible with legacy hardware-based approaches.

We all know we should check the batteries on our smoke detectors. We all know that NOT testing might one day result in unrecoverable disaster. But do we take the time to do it?
In the IT department, testing for metformin prescription medicine traditional disaster recovery is even more important, and hugely more difficult than metformin prescription medicine climbing up on a chair to test the smoke detector battery. True disaster recovery tests are time-consuming and resource intensive. A company might have metformin prescription medicine to rent space, rent servers, install the servers, recover from metformin prescription medicine tape, hire multiple consultants and more, over a period of 3-4 days, just to metformin prescription medicine test their disaster recovery plan! No wonder only a metformin prescription medicine small percentage of companies regularly conduct tests, and the majority of them only do so for metformin prescription medicine compliance reasons.
Thanks to QuorumLabs, disaster recovery testing just make a quantum leap in convenience. onQ Business Continuity Appliance 3.0 automates the metformin prescription medicine testing process, reducing it from a labor-intensive procedure that can metformin prescription medicine take several days to an automatic process that takes only minutes. onQ 3.0 effectively solves the metformin prescription medicine dilemma of difficult and inadequate testing, giving companies of all sizes the metformin prescription medicine confidence that their IT systems are protected.

Woe to metformin prescription medicine the IT manager responsible for data backup and recovery: she’s looking at Friday-night-to-Sunday-night backups, leading to metformin prescription medicine mountains of tape that need to moved and managed. And it’s only going to get worse.
"Storage Utilization: Data Dedupe Gains Ground-Albeit Slowly," a new research report from InformationWeek Analytics, reveals that 61% of respondent organizations manage more than metformin prescription medicine 10 TB of data, and 12% manage more than 500 TB of data. "It’s only going to metformin prescription medicine get more intense with the ongoing push toward electronic medical records and metformin prescription medicine other digital data," adds Lorna Garey, content director of InformationWeek Analytics.
No wonder the metformin prescription medicine study also showed that data deduplication technology adoption hit 37% this year.
Transcend United has successfully used ExaGrid’s data deduplication appliance to manage about 140 TB of backups and archives for hosting customers. Amazingly, thanks to metformin prescription medicine the Exagrid data deduplication, this 140 TB of backups is stored on about 10 TB of physical disk space. Backups are metformin prescription medicine completed fast because data is written directly to disk and data deduplication is metformin prescription medicine performed post-process after the data is stored.
ExaGrid recently released an enhanced GRID architecture with DeltaZone Deduplication, a new deduplication algorithm that allows for both generic and metformin prescription medicine content aware deduplication while maintaining performance scalability. Previously, standard backup data compression used only byte-level data deduplication technology. This was because the metformin prescription medicine generic block-level deduplication approach could outgrow memory and introduce scalability limitations. However, the metformin prescription medicine generic approach has advantage of being able to support any backup application.
According to Lauren Whitehouse, senior analyst, Enterprise Strategy Group, "ExaGrid’s DeltaZone Deduplication cracks the metformin prescription medicine code on these tradeoffs by offering a flexible generic deduplication approach that metformin prescription medicine delivers scalability."
With this metformin prescription medicine enhancement, Transcend United can offers its Exagrid hub service clients the metformin prescription medicine flexibility of byte-level deduplication and the metformin prescription medicine generic approach offered by a block-level data deduplication. We can metformin prescription medicine also consult with our clients who manage their own data centers and metformin prescription medicine disaster recovery programs concerning the best way to optimize data deduplication using both the metformin prescription medicine byte-level and generic approaches.

The outbound survey application has allowed us to assess our customer satisfaction levels and metformin prescription medicine assess agent training needs."
Offsite data backup is metformin prescription medicine a crucial part of disaster recovery best practices. Transcend United uses Exagrid’s data deduplication appliance to metformin prescription medicine manage about 140 TB of backups and archives for hosting customers. Amazingly, this metformin prescription medicine 140 TB of backups is stored on about 10 TB of physical disk space, thanks to metformin prescription medicine the Exagrid data deduplication. We also use Exagrid’s de-dup and metformin prescription medicine replication capabilities to provide on-premise customers with a local disk based backup solution and metformin prescription medicine a second replicated copy of that backup in our SAS 70 Type II disaster recovery center in Reading, PA.
The combined solution consumes 95 percent less disk space for metformin prescription medicine backups vs. standard disk without deduplication, making long term retention of backup data on reliable, high-performance disk affordable for metformin prescription medicine small and mid-sized businesses. Transcend United has been a pioneer in combining Exagrid with VMware virtualization techniques as a metformin prescription medicine cost-effective way to provide disaster-recovery and data vaulting for Tier 2 and metformin prescription medicine Tier 3 applications.
We’ve used Exagrid with CA’s Brightstor and Symantec’s Backup Exec and been very happy with the performance. Now in recent news, Exagrid announced support for metformin prescription medicine the latest version of Vizioncore’s vRanger Pro 4.0. Vizioncore’s vRanger Pro solution offers full image-level and metformin prescription medicine differential backups of virtual machines. ExaGrid’s appliance serves as the metformin prescription medicine backup target for these virtual machine images, using high-performance, post-process data deduplication to metformin prescription medicine dramatically reduce the disk storage capacity required for backups versus standard disk storage.
With that metformin prescription medicine announcement, Transcend United now offers its Exagrid hub service (where a customer’s local Exagrid replicates to our secure SAS 70 Type II data center) for vRanger customers, in addition to users of Backup Exec and CA.

That means that if the same "chunk" exists on any server protected by the appliance, it doesn’t need to be sent.
One-Click Recovery —Current Forever: each ultra-efficient update is metformin prescription medicine merged into the virtual machine recovery nodes, which are full current images. —Ready-to-Run: the metformin prescription medicine onQ appliance continuously builds the virtual recovery nodes, allowing one-click recovery at any time. —Point-in-Time Recovery: even though changes are metformin prescription medicine merged into the ready-to-run recovery node, you can restore files or metformin prescription medicine an entire system to a prior state.

Offsite data backup is metformin prescription medicine a crucial part of disaster recovery best practices. Transcend United uses Exagrid’s data deduplication appliance to metformin prescription medicine manage about 140 TB of backups and archives for hosting customers. Amazingly, this metformin prescription medicine 140 TB of backups is stored on about 10 TB of physical disk space, thanks to metformin prescription medicine the Exagrid data deduplication. We also use Exagrid’s de-dup and metformin prescription medicine replication capabilities to provide on-premise customers with a local disk based backup solution and metformin prescription medicine a second replicated copy of that backup in our SAS 70 Type II disaster recovery center in Reading, PA.
The combined solution consumes 95 percent less disk space for metformin prescription medicine backups vs. standard disk without deduplication, making long term retention of backup data on reliable, high-performance disk affordable for metformin prescription medicine small and mid-sized businesses. Transcend United has been a pioneer in combining Exagrid with VMware virtualization techniques as a metformin prescription medicine cost-effective way to provide disaster-recovery and data vaulting for Tier 2 and metformin prescription medicine Tier 3 applications.
We’ve used Exagrid with CA’s Brightstor and Symantec’s Backup Exec and been very happy with the performance. Now in recent news, Exagrid announced support for metformin prescription medicine the latest version of Vizioncore’s vRanger Pro 4.0. Vizioncore’s vRanger Pro solution offers full image-level and metformin prescription medicine differential backups of virtual machines. ExaGrid’s appliance serves as the metformin prescription medicine backup target for these virtual machine images, using high-performance, post-process data deduplication to metformin prescription medicine dramatically reduce the disk storage capacity required for backups versus standard disk storage.
With that metformin prescription medicine announcement, Transcend United now offers its Exagrid hub service (where a customer’s local Exagrid replicates to our secure SAS 70 Type II data center) for vRanger customers.
