Riverbed joins OpenStack community to develop open source standard cloud solution

Riverbed Technology Inc. (NASDAQ Trading Code: RVBD) has announced its participation in the OpenStack community, a global developer community collaborating on cloud architectures and open source cloud operating systems. As businesses migrate their data and applications to the cloud, the connectivity of the WAN has increasingly challenged the performance of applications. As a member of the OpenStack, riverbed is adding OpenStack support to its WAN optimization solution to create a successful cloud environment.

Using its WAN optimization solution to collaborate with the OpenStack community, riverbed is an extension of the company's previous collaboration with the OpenStack community on virtual application Delivery controllers (VADC). Riverbed Wan Optimization Solutions and VADC provide technology solutions for businesses that help them improve their IT performance in a public, private, and mixed cloud environment.

"We believe partnering with leaders from the entire IT industry to develop open source technologies that benefit communities and cloud computing is our best choice," said Mark Collier, vice president of Rackspace Cloud builders. Taking this approach will help cloud computing grow to meet the challenges of future applications. ”

More than 16,000 companies worldwide rely on riverbed solutions to manage, optimize, and integrate their IT infrastructure, and by adopting Riverbed solutions, users can overcome performance problems resulting from distance, distributed computing, and increasing volumes of data. As it companies begin to take a variety of strategic initiatives to virtualize workloads, consolidate and migrate to the cloud, the distance between users and data, slow applications, file transfers, and inefficient web sites can hinder the implementation of these plans. Riverbed offers solutions including WAN optimization, application-aware network performance management (NPM), application delivery, Site content optimization (WCO), and cloud data backup, archiving, and disaster recovery protection to enhance it performance. By providing the industry's broadest range of performance solutions that can be optimized for any application anywhere, riverbed can help businesses improve productivity and production efficiencies while enhancing business responsiveness and cost containment.

Venugopal Pai, vice president of the Riverbed Global Alliance, said: "Current applications in the cloud consistently provide an excellent user experience without taking into account the location and connectivity of users." As more enterprises migrate to the cloud environment, Riverbed will work closely with the customer base to develop solutions to meet performance challenges. As a member of the OpenStack, riverbed will help design, standardize, and develop this open-source cloud architecture to provide cloud-optimized technology integration services for future application requirements. Joining the OpenStack community will further strengthen Riverbed's commitment to global businesses to provide them with a common, private, and mixed cloud environment without impacting performance. ”
