[October 27, 2009] Riverbed Extends Scale, Simplicity of WAN Optimisation Tweet (Computer News Middle East Via Acquire Media NewsEdge)   Riverbed Technology , the IT infrastructure performance company for networks, applications and storage, today announced increased scalability and flexibility for large-scale wide area network (WAN) optimisation deployments with the introduction of the new Interceptor 9350 appliance and enhanced Riverbed software.   The Interceptor allows enterprise customers to scale their WAN optimisation solution to support hundreds of thousands of end users and very large bandwidth WAN connections across an enterprise.  Fortune 500 companies deploy Interceptor in their data centres for its ability to provide scale and to simplify large WAN optimisation deployments across global networks.   Interceptor is a specialised clustering device for high-capacity, high-availability Steelhead appliance deployments.  The Interceptor extends the scaling and performance capabilities of Steelhead appliances to meet the requirements of very large data centre environments.   The Interceptor allows clusters of up to 25 Steelhead appliances to work together seamlessly and simplifies network setup, while offering an even wider choice of high-availability configurations to support the largest and most complex enterprise networks. Riverbed Interceptor 9350 is designed to provide increased benefits, including enhanced scalability to drive greater throughput and increased capacity to support more users.   The new Interceptor, in comparison to the previous model, provides up to 3X more throughput while still supporting up to one million concurrent connections. In addition, the new Interceptor supports up to three 10G network interface cards (NIC) which support customers’ taking advantage of modern data centre designs.   “Riverbed Interceptor appliances are the ideal solution for massively scalable Steelhead appliance deployments on WANs where performance cannot be compromised,” said Alan Saldich, VP of product marketing at Riverbed.  “The new Interceptor 9350 is designed to provide increased benefits, including simplified deployment into complex and very large data centre environments, more choices for high-availability configurations, and increased scalability. The 10G NIC coupled with the tripling of the performance of the Interceptor 9350 positions Riverbed to integrate seamlessly into our customer data centre networks.”   (c) 2008 IDG Middle East.
