Riverbed Enhances Its Optimisation System- RiOS And Cascade Solutions

Riverbed Technology, the IT performance company, has announced enhancements to its Riverbed Optimisation System (RiOS) and Cascade solutions that provide the globally connected enterprise with business-level visibility and control for all types of traffic and applications.

With the upcoming releases of version 9.0 of Cascade and version 6.5 of RiOS, which powers the company’s wide area network (WAN) optimisation solutions, Riverbed will provide a range of functionality that both extends visibility from the network engineer all the way to the C-suite and gives IT the ability to allocate resources based on the business needs of enterprises.

The release of Cascade 9.0 and RiOS 6.5, Riverbed will provide enterprises with solutions that ensure more visibility into their critical applications and services and how they are performing, as well as control over their application performance over the network. The Riverbed solutions are able to address visibility and control for all traffic and applications (for example, voice, video, collaboration, email, database, TCP and UDP) from anywhere to everywhere. To enable enterprises to easily understand and manage their IT environments, Riverbed introduces with these solutions new service level agreement (SLA) monitoring and reporting capabilities and new quality of service (QoS) enforcement to provide visibility, control and optimisation that dynamically adapt to any enterprise IT environment.

“As enterprises come to rely on more real-time, interactive, and rich media applications in their private environments or in the cloud, efficient management of network resources will become an increasingly important challenge. With these solutions, Riverbed is introducing features that help enterprises visualise and control their WAN more effectively,” said Apurva Davé, Vice President, Product Marketing, Riverbed. “This enables IT organisations to extend visibility to the C-suite and prioritise all types of traffic and applications based on business needs for their globally connected enterprise.”
