Riverbed Named to UBM Channel's CRN Data Center 100SAN FRANCISCO, CA, Jan 22, 2013 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- Riverbed Technology (NASDAQ: RVBD), the performance company, today announced it has been named to CRN's 2013 Data Center 100 list. This annual list recognizes technology vendors for powering, supporting, and protecting today's data center services in an environmentally and economically friendly manner, while boosting efficiency and productivity. Organizations worldwide leverage Riverbed(R) solutions to address performance challenges as they re-architect their IT infrastructures in pursuit of cost efficiency, manageability, and flexibility. Key IT initiatives, such as virtualization and cloud computing, are challenging existing network designs and fueling a new wave of data center transformation. New virtual, cloud, and software-defined data center architectures enable global IT organizations to effectively consolidate infrastructure and reduce costs, but also introduce new complexities and performance bottlenecks that can cause the end-user experience to suffer. By providing partners with the broadest portfolio of performance solutions that span wide area network (WAN) optimization, application-aware network performance management (NPM), application delivery, web content optimization (WCO), and cloud data protection, Riverbed enables organizations to increase productivity and efficiency, enhance business resilience, and control costs. "The Riverbed partner program provides our partner community with performance solutions, training and incentives to support their continued growth," said Johnna Bowley, senior director, Global Channel Strategy and Programs at Riverbed. "Being recognized as one of the CRN Data Center 100 underscores our commitment to delivering the performance solutions and programs that help our partners deliver the speed, cost savings, and control global IT organizations need to optimize their next generation data centers and deliver a superlative user experience." "The 2013 Data Center 100 list recognizes vendors that, over the course of 2012, have shown a dedication to the innovation and advancement of today's data center services," said Kelley Damore, vice president and editorial director for UBM Channel. "The recent upsurge in cloud computing has solution providers searching for new ways to ensure their clients maintain connectivity while mitigating costs and security threats. We congratulate each vendor on the 2013 Data Center 100 list for providing a significant growth opportunity for solution providers to build their business by offering cutting-edge products and services to customers."
