The 80/20 Rule Flip Flopped

80% of end-user traffic will move to the WAN

end – user dissatisfaction and failure to meet business needs

Analysis 1. End-user work habits are becoming increasingly Mobile and collaborative 2. Massive increase in Consolidation & use of Virtualization 3. Applications are changing – Web and Cloud 4. Increasing UCC, and Video 5. Increased Social media

degrade application performance, cause high levels of end-user dissatisfaction

Performance Acceleration

Performance Matters (Cure what?)

100ms 100ms increase in web page load time leads to a 1% drop in sales

500ms 500ms delay leads to 20% drop in traffic

Broker could lose $4 million in revenues per millisecond if their electronic trading platform is 5 milliseconds behind

Use cases

Data Center transformation initiatives: Global SharePoint rollout

•  Optimize network to deliver high-performing applications to global workforce

•  Easy to implement solution allows for a rapid worldwide deployment

•  Optimized WAN leads to dramatic network performance improvements, including an 86 percent drop in SharePoint and HTTP traffic

By using Riverbed, Avanade improves every area of network performance by up to 87 percent and saves one million dollars per year.

Data Center transformation initiatives: Consolidation

•  No local servers were required •  Achieved LAN-like application access at remote

offices and temporary sites •  Experienced a significant reduction in the

number of manual IT tasks

needed a flexible solution to connect its temporary construction locations to its data center, but faced major transmission challenges due to the large size of its design files.

Data Center transformation initiatives: Cloud Storage

•  Riverbed Whitewater appliances and cloud data storage 50 percent average data reduction (up to 76 percent)

•  Four-fold increase in bandwidth capacity speeds archiving process

•  Significantly lower costs for long-term data storage

Gensler, a San Francisco-based architecture, design, and planning firm, has terabytes of data that must be retained for 15 to 20 years.

Data Center transformation initiatives: Branch Office

•  Riverbed Steelhead appliances & Riverbed Cascade

•  4 times reduction in data backup time •  Ability to quickly identify and fix application and

network issues

created a virtualized IT system concept which is deployed to each of the Shanghai stores. With ambitious growth plans for the China market.

Data Center transformation initiatives: Global Collaboration

•  60 percent bandwidth optimization for Lotus Notes

•  90 percent bandwidth optimization for CIFS protocol and HTTP intranet applications

•  Network--side visibility into application performance and seamless data transfer

Merck leverages Riverbed® and Orange to achieve up to 90 percent bandwidth optimization and visibility across the network.

Data Center transformation initiatives: Consolidation

•  Challenges •  Contain global data center sprawl •  Improve data security •  Increase administrative efficiency to lower operating

costs •  Solutions

•  Decouple data storage from application servers in remote offices

•  Manage data at secure hub data centers and deliver it to offices via WAN

Paul Hastings LLP is a leading international law firm that serves many of the world's top financial institutions and Fortune Global 500 companies.

Data Center transformation initiatives: Cloud Computing Service

•  Comprehensive set of ADC capabilities •  Flexible service provider pricing to account

for seasonality •  Rapid provisioning

Xerox Cloud Computing Services’ deployment of the Stingray™ Traffic Manager ensures scalability, high availability, and optimized application performance in a multi-tenant environment.

Data Center transformation initiatives: SaaS Integration

•  Largest Ball Bearing Manufacturer in the World

•  46,000 Employees • Users in China, Singapore, India

and Sweden • All accessing Office 365 DC in Virginia

For all the great benefits of software as a service (SaaS) there’s one big drawback: application data travels across the public Internet, which is not as reliable and as fast as a private IP WAN that typically connects branch offices
