IT Challenge:
More data and fixed budgets requires “doing more with less”.WAN performance is insufficient or unpredictable.
Riverbed Value:
Protect more data more often with reduced cost and risk.
Performance Benefits:
Accelerate WAN performance by up to 60x.Reduce WAN bandwidth requirements by up to 99%.

• Byte-level finger printing of data sequences
• New bytes compressed & sent over the WAN
• Steelheads auto-discover each other in the network
SITE A
• 16-Byte references communicate megabytes of existing data
SITE B
Up to 99% reduction in WAN utilization• Unique sequences stored and indexed on disk drives (HDD or SSD)

Common Latency• North America• (40-80 ms RTT)• International• (100-200ms RTT)• Satellite• (300+ ms RTT)
Common Packet Loss• MPLS (0.1%)• Public Internet (1-
5%)
• Adding WAN Capacity with bandwidth does NOT guarantee higher throughput
• High latency and/or packet loss dramatically degrades throughput for business critical data transfers

Riverbed-optimized TCP (MX-TCP)
Designed for high-speed transmission of business-critical appliacations.
Uses 100% of its allocated bandwidth with no slowdown due to packet loss.
Granular control: Enabled per QoS class
Standard / Unoptimized TCP
Designed for fair-sharing amongst user or applications.
Uses a “slow start” algorithm to detect maximum transmission speed.
Reduces speed by ½ when a packet loss event is detected.
