Riverbed boosts acceleration gear efficiency
Riverbed, a provider of wide area data services appliances, is upgrading software for its WAN acceleration products to improve performance and enable businesses to get by with fewer of its software clients, reports NetworkWorld.
The operating system upgrade, RIOS 5.5, includes upgrades to Riverbed Services Platform (RSP) that can make the company's Steelhead appliances run more efficiently. RSP is the name Riverbed gives to the ability of its appliances to act as branch application servers.
The efficiency comes from exempting certain traffic from being accelerated, thereby making transactions simpler and using up less processing power. In addition, RSP can now handle five separate applications on VMware virtual machines. T
