[AusNOG] Riverbed (or other) Edge devices for data compression - Seeking feedback or Suggestions

[Ed Hallett]

At a previous contract (Australia / Dubai wide commercial architectural
design company) we had Riverbed's handling the load between heavily
utilised local file servers (those CAD drawings are big!!) - we had
significant problems with users reporting slow access speeds to ArchiCAD
/ AutoCAD docs and similar. It still wasn't resolved after 6 months of
talking to Riverbed, and is ongoing I believe.

Havent had any issues with Riverbed the new firmware they fixed the Mac
CIFS issue's although some bits can be a bit fiddly at times.. I use
them in between our CAS servers (Exchange boxes) for DAG replication and
client access works a treat

Afternoon Noggers,

 

We are looking at deploying Riverbed kit across multiple datacentres,
mainly to take advantage of compression capability from both platform to
customer (applications) and DC to DC (replication of content, SQL, video
SD/HD).

 

We have some experience with edge devices which utilise compression
techniques but now looking to push that a littler harder.

 

Has anyone here worked with the WAN optimisation technology ?

 

I would like to hear your thoughts, either about the Riverbed kit or
others. Off-list is fine.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Cheers,

 

 

Darren.
