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

[Lloyd Wood]

We've found the Exinda QoS shapers useful at the low end.

The first and now-discontinued 2060 was far too low-performance to be useful (underlying linux couldn't even keep the serial port driver running reliably, so goodbye CLI) but the shrunk-box 2061 and the 4000 series running on Dell servers have worked well in deployment. Haven't looked in depth into their high end, phone-home virtual machine licenses or acceleration, which seems to be based off enabling a bunch of everything-in-the-kernel Linux TCP variants.


Exinda is very much a US company these days in positioning and outlook; Australian pricing recently increased as a result of the exchange rate.

I've heard good things about Exinda as an alternative platform - another WAN op vendor initially developed in Melbourne that might be worth a look - http://www1.exinda.com/
