Riverbed awarded patent on core WDS soln

BANGALORE: Riverbed Technology Inc. today announced that the company has been issued US patent 7,120,666 for its "Transaction Accelerator for Client-Server Communication Systems," which is becoming core technology in wide-area data services (WDS) solutions.

Steve McCanne, chief technology officer, Riverbed, said, "This patent reflects our technology leadership in WDS and related solutions and our willingness to protect our intellectual property."

"Riverbed was founded with a vision to create integrated and intelligent solutions to the networking, application, and storage issues that together slow the performance of distributed networks and cause remote sites to suffer painfully slow application and file transfer speeds," he added.

Riverbed's wide-area data services (WDS) solutions enable organizations with more than one office to overcome a host of severe problems, including poor application performance and insufficient bandwidth at remote sites. By speeding the performance of applications between distributed sites, by five to 50 times and in some cases up to 100 times between enterprise datacenters and remote offices, Riverbed's award-winning Steelhead WDS appliances enable companies to consolidate IT, improve backup and replication processes to ensure data integrity, and improve staff productivity and collaboration, a Riverbed statement said.
