When deploying Whitewater, enterprises don’t have to think about the addition of other new software technologies to interact with the cloud storage environment. Riverbed’s single-box platform fully supports existing backup software for the enterprise, such as IBM Tivoli Storage Manager, Symantec Netbackup, and Symantec Backup Exec.

“We are bringing the power of a high-performance, secure and flexible cloud storage gateway to our SMB customers to tap into the tremendous benefits of using the public cloud for data protection,” said Apurva Davé, vice president of product marketing at Riverbed. As an added benefit, Whitewater cloud storage gateways also minimize the bandwidth required and the transmission costs of moving data to or from the public cloud and cost of maintenance.

Riverbed WAN optimization solutions enable organizations of all sizes to overcome a wide range of IT infrastructure performance bottlenecks, including poor application performance, slow database backups and insufficient bandwidth at remote sites. By speeding applications between data centers, remote offices and mobile workers, in some cases by up to 100 times, Riverbed Steelhead appliances eliminate the performance barrier for those looking to adopt a cloud-oriented IT delivery model.
