SAN FRANCISCO, CA — (Marketwired) — 04/08/13 — (NASDAQ: RVBD), the application performance company, announced today that the editors of TechTarget-s Storage Media Group have awarded the Whitewater® 3010 cloud storage appliance Silver honors in the data backup hardware category in the 2012 Products of the Year awards. The Whitewater 3010 appliance addresses larger scale enterprise data backup workloads and offers four times the local storage capacity of other Whitewater models.
The Storage magazine editorial staff, in conjunction with a team of users, industry experts, analysts, and consultants, selected the 14 “Products of the Year” winners based on six criteria: ease of integration, functionality, innovation, manageability, performance, and value.
The Storage magazine editors highlighted the following attributes of the Whitewater 3010 cloud storage appliance: “Riverbed Technology-s Whitewater 3010 with Whitewater Operating System (WWOS) 2.0 delivers local-like performance for cloud backup workloads. Enterprises are now able to support up to 32 TB of deduplicated local storage and 160 TB of deduplicated cloud storage. WWOS 2.0 also offers increased data ingest performance (1.5 TB per hour) for faster processing of larger backups. The addition of Active Directory support, a management dashboard and remote management provides organizations with simplified centralized administration/management.”
Riverbed® Whitewater cloud storage appliances modernize data protection and streamline operations for organizations of all sizes. Purpose built for fast backup and restore, Whitewater appliances deliver local-like performance while using the cloud for secure off-site storage, avoiding the need to provision and manage a secondary site for disaster recovery (DR) or long term storage. This dramatically reduces capital spending, streamlines IT infrastructure, and enables payback periods that are measured in months, not years.
“Winning this Storage magazine award validates the reliability Whitewater cloud storage appliances bring to organizations and their cloud backup and disaster recovery (DR) efforts,” said John Martin, senior vice president and general manager, Storage Delivery Group at Riverbed. “With Whitewater, organizations can cost effectively meet their backup and DR needs by eliminating tape, tape management, and vaulting at the datacenter while eliminating the need for a remote DR storage site.”
