RIVERBED EXPERIENCES NEARLY 100 % GROWTH FOR CLIENT ACCELERATOR AND EXPANDS PRODUCT CAPABILITIES
Dante Malagrino , Chief Development Officer at Riverbed
Riverbed has announced expanded
product capabilities and strong market momentum of Client Accelerator , with nearly 100 % sequential growth , as IT organisations look to accelerate businesscritical applications and performance of remote employees as increasingly more employees work-from-anywhere .
Delivered in a software form factor , Client Accelerator extends best-in-class optimisation and acceleration technology all the way down to the end-user – laptops or desktops – eliminating performance problems caused by network congestion , latency and increasingly unpredictable lastmile networks , providing accelerated access to on-prem , IaaS or SaaS-based applications , even in less than ideal user conditions and regardless of location . Client Accelerator reduces network data congestion by up to 99 % and offers up to 10x faster and reliable performance for business-critical SaaS apps , on-prem applications and IaaS cloud workloads . As a result , the user experience of business-critical applications significantly improves along with employee productivity .
Client Accelerator features enhancements include added support for scaling up to 200,000 clients per customer instance , new reporting APIs and enhanced integration with Riverbed SaaS Accelerator , which eliminates network inhibitors that impact the user experience of key SaaS apps such as Office 365 and Microsoft Teams Live Events and Stream Video , Salesforce , Box , ServiceNow and more .
“ In the continued work-from-anywhere reality , Client Accelerator offers a path to fast , consistent and available enterprise applications wherever employees do their work ,” said Dante Malagrino , Chief Development Officer at Riverbed . “ While there was an immediate and significant increase to remote working at the start of the pandemic , we expect to see a longterm shift toward employees increasingly working from anywhere , including hybrid work environments , where employees spend half the time in the office and the rest of the time remote at home , client locations , at cafes or while travelling for business . We ’ ve experienced significant market momentum and customer demand for Client Accelerator , as IT and business leaders are looking to deliver strong user productivity and performance regardless of where an employee resides .”
By eliminating performance problems caused by network latency , congestion and unpredictable competition for lastmile network access , businesses can move from remote workforce triage to achieving improved customer / client / employee satisfaction , faster time-to-market , increased pipeline / revenue , improved reputation and lower cost / risk to the business . Organisations globally , across all industries , have been deploying Client Accelerator to accelerate the performance of their remote and hybrid workforces .
By using Client Accelerator , Environmental Resources Management ( ERM ), a leading global provider of environmental , health , safety , risk , social consulting and sustainability related services , provides accelerated access to centralised files and applications to 5,500 employees ( in 42 countries and territories ) who are working remote from home or at a client location . A 15MB Excel file or 30MB PowerPoint file that previously took minutes to open without Riverbed Client Accelerator now opens in a few seconds . Company-wide , the time savings are significant – if half of ERM ’ s 5,500 employees open three large files a day and save just one minute each time , ERM gains 137 hours of work time daily , the equivalent of an extra 17 employees year-round . •
We ’ ve experienced significant market momentum and customer demand .
