6. THE HYPERCONVERGED NETWORK

10. The 80/20 Rule – Flipped on its Head

11. The 80/20 Rule Flip Flopped
80% of end-user traffic will move to the WAN
end – user dissatisfaction and failure to meet business needs

13. Analysis
1. End-user work habits are becoming increasingly Mobile and collaborative
2. Massive increase in Consolidation & use of Virtualization
3. Applications are changing – Web and Cloud
4. Increasing UCC, and Video
5. Increased Social media

14. degrade application performance, cause high
levels of end-user dissatisfaction

22. Performance Matters (Cure what?)
100ms
100ms increase in web page load time
leads to a 1% drop in sales
500ms
500ms delay leads to 20% drop in traffic
Broker could lose $4 million in revenues per millisecond
if their electronic trading platform is 5 milliseconds behind
1ms

24. Blind Men and the Elephant (Diagnose how?)
“It’s a bird”
“It’s a snake”
“It’s a tree trunk”

25. Use cases

26. Data Center transformation initiatives:
Global SharePoint rollout
• Optimize network to deliver high-performing
applications to global workforce
• Easy to implement solution allows for a rapid
worldwide deployment
• Optimized WAN leads to dramatic network
performance improvements, including an 86
percent drop in SharePoint and HTTP traffic
By using Riverbed,
Avanade improves
every area of
network
performance by up
to 87 percent and
saves one million
dollars per year.

27. Data Center transformation initiatives:
Consolidation
• No local servers were required
• Achieved LAN-like application access at remote
offices and temporary sites
• Experienced a significant reduction in the
number of manual IT tasks
needed a flexible
solution to connect its
temporary construction
locations to its data
center, but faced major
transmission challenges
due to the large size of
its design files.

28. Data Center transformation initiatives:
Cloud Storage
• Riverbed Whitewater appliances and cloud data
storage 50 percent average data reduction (up
to 76 percent)
• Four-fold increase in bandwidth capacity
speeds archiving process
• Significantly lower costs for long-term data
storage
Gensler, a San
Francisco-based
architecture, design,
and planning firm, has
terabytes of data that
must be retained for 15
to 20 years.

29. Data Center transformation initiatives:
Branch Office
• Riverbed Steelhead appliances & Riverbed
Cascade
• 4 times reduction in data backup time
• Ability to quickly identify and fix application and
network issues
created a virtualized IT
system concept which
is deployed to each of
the Shanghai stores.
With ambitious growth
plans for the China
market.

30. Data Center transformation initiatives:
Global Collaboration
• 60 percent bandwidth optimization for Lotus
Notes
• 90 percent bandwidth optimization for CIFS
protocol and HTTP intranet applications
• Network--side visibility into application
performance and seamless data transfer
Merck leverages
Riverbed® and Orange
to achieve up to 90
percent bandwidth
optimization and
visibility across the
network.

31. Data Center transformation initiatives:
Consolidation
• Challenges
• Contain global data center sprawl
• Improve data security
• Increase administrative efficiency to lower operating
costs
• Solutions
• Decouple data storage from application servers in
remote offices
• Manage data at secure hub data centers and deliver
it to offices via WAN
Paul Hastings LLP is a
leading international
law firm that serves
many of the world's top
financial institutions and
Fortune Global 500
companies.

32. Data Center transformation initiatives:
Cloud Computing Service
• Comprehensive set of ADC capabilities
• Flexible service provider pricing to account
for seasonality
• Rapid provisioning
Xerox Cloud Computing
Services’ deployment of
the Stingray™ Traffic
Manager ensures
scalability, high
availability, and
optimized application
performance in a multi-
tenant environment.

33. Data Center transformation initiatives:
SaaS Integration
• Largest Ball Bearing Manufacturer in
the World
• 46,000 Employees
• Users in China, Singapore, India
and Sweden
• All accessing Office 365 DC in Virginia
For all the great
benefits of software as
a service (SaaS) there’s
one big drawback:
application data travels
across the public
Internet, which is not as
reliable and as fast as a
private IP WAN that
typically connects
branch offices
