Wide-Area Data Services: Enable the Impossible
The Problem
Before, it was impossible to imagine serving large amounts of Windows data over a WAN link. The only solution IT managers had was to place file servers in all remote locations, along with the requisite tape backup infrastructure. This resulted in an IT management nightmare, as well as an inability to control costs related to acquisition and support.
The Solution: Wide Area Data Services
Voyant Strategies has seen tremendous success deploying Wide-Area Data Services solutions from Riverbed Technology. By using scalable data representation rather than simply compressing data, Riverbed accelerates data across slow WAN links by up to 100 times, enabling value-rich tasks such as remote backup and centralized enterprise file storage in a fraction of the time it used to take. And the best part is that this technology is simple to understand and even simpler to deploy.
