Riverbed Technology
announced the introduction of three new Riverbed Whitewater cloud storage
gateway models designed to optimize data protection.
Whitewater will allow a wider range of
organizations, including small and medium businesses (SMBs), to take advantage
of the benefits of cloud data protection. The new Whitewater models 510 and 710
are purpose-built for SMBs, while the Whitewater model 2010 is designed for the
mid-sized enterprise and targeted use cases in the large enterprise.
Whitewater cloud storage gateways can better
meet the data protection needs of organizations across a wider range of sizes
and industries, to reduce operational burdens, costs and complexity when
using public cloud storage for data protection. In addition to
hardware-based cloud storage gateway appliances, Riverbed also offers a virtual
version of its cloud storage gateway for data protection.
Whitewater cloud storage gateways enable
organizations to easily and securely optimize their backup, while allowing them
to reap the benefits of the public cloud’s economies of scale, flexibility,
scalability and pay-per-use pricing, without changes to their existing
infrastructure.
Whitewater cloud storage gateways provide
fast, drop-in access to the major public cloud storage providers with
local-like performance and connect directly to most popular backup tools. With
the introduction of Whitewater cloud storage gateway models 510, 710 and 2010,
Riverbed enables a wider range of enterprises and federal agencies to
significantly reduce storage requirements by embracing the benefits of cloud
storage for data protection.
As a fast-paced engineering consulting firm
that regularly uses large AutoCAD files, you can imagine the kind of challenge
it created for our data protection strategies.With Whitewater, we no longer
have to deal with high volumes of tapes for backup, and were able to streamline
our data protection processes with a few clicks of a mouse, while decreasing
our costs tremendously. Most importantly, we’re able to securely protect more
data faster and recover just as fast,” said Chris Pinckney, chief information
officer at Psomas.
Whitewater cloud storage gateways
deduplicate, compress and encrypt backup data sets before storing them in the
local cache and securely accelerating them over the network and into the cloud.
This frees backup staff from labor-intensive tape backup and tape
infrastructure management with no disruption to their operations. In the event
of a disaster, the secure cloud copy can be restored to any location and
provides a strong DR solution without the need to purchase and maintain
expensive hardware in remote locations.
