Riverbed Technology, the IT performance company, has announced an expansion of its ecosystem for the Riverbed Whitewater family of cloud storage accelerator products. Whitewater supports a broad and growing array of cloud storage and backup solution providers, offering customers unprecedented choice and flexibility. Nirvanix, a provider of enterprise-class cloud storage services, joins the list of cloud storage solutions supported by Whitewater. Also, with the addition of EMC NetWorker, Quest vRanger, and CA ARCserve Backup, Whitewater now supports additional major backup tool solutions.
With Whitewater, organisations have a fast, secure and cost-efficient solution to seamlessly offsite data to cloud storage environments. Whitewater connects directly to existing backup tools and cloud service provider application programming interfaces (APIs). It securely accelerates backup and recovery operations, deduplicates and compresses data to reduce storage costs in the cloud and installs quickly without requiring changes to the existing backup infrastructure. The broad ecosystem for Whitewater enables organisations to flexibly transition between major cloud storage providers, should requirements change.
“Regardless of the cloud storage provider or backup tool used by an organisation, Whitewater integrates seamlessly to augment the existing infrastructure with cloud storage. With the added support of Nirvanix for cloud storage services, and backup software solutions EMC Networker, Quest vRanger and CA ARCserve Backup, we continue to provide our customers with maximum choice and flexibility to choose interoperable cloud storage solutions that best meet their requirements for faster and more reliable DR operations,” said Apurva Davé, Vice President-Product Marketing, Riverbed.
“Riverbed works closely with each cloud storage and backup solution provider to ensure customers can confidently move to cloud storage to enhance their data protection strategies without changes to their existing backup software or processes.”
