Riverbed Technology has released version 6.1 of the Riverbed Optimization System (RiOS), which powers Riverbed’s wide area network (WAN) optimisation solutions. This version provides enhanced acceleration for cloud services and enterprise applications.
RiOS 6.1 features new optimisations for Lotus Notes 8.5. In addition, the new version provides new optimisations for a range of Microsoft suites including Exchange 2010, SharePoint, and Microsoft Online for SharePoint and Exchange. Additionally, RiOS 6.1 delivers enhanced optimisations for disaster recovery (DR) performance, providing intelligent storage networking protocol enhancements to ensure better performance, greater scale and easier management for enterprises with large data centre environments.
“With this release, Riverbed is providing its customers with the necessary tools to support critical IT initiatives such as private and public cloud computing, IT centralisation and disaster recovery. As CIOs turn to centralised IT models to reduce costs, WAN optimisation is an increasingly critical tool required to maintain performance and ensure that distant employees remain productive,” said Cindy Borovick, Vice President at IDC.
