Free WAN Optimisation Assessment & Migration Service For Expand Networks Customers

Riverbed announced its purchase of certain assets of Expand Networks on 11th January 2012, including its intellectual property, as the technology company that helped pioneer the WAN Optimisation market fell into liquidation in Israel.

What Does This Mean For Expand Networks Customers?

  • Riverbed has stated that it will not develop new features for Expand’s products
  • Riverbed will not be providing additional bug fixes for Expand software
  • Riverbed is not able to offer support under previously purchased Expand support agreements or other contracts. You will need to purchase a Riverbed support agreement for your existing Expand equipment. Contact Teneo for assistance with this.
Having partnered with Expand Networks from 2002-2005, Teneo is well placed to understand the core intellectual property behind Expand’s WAN Optimisation technology.

Working with market leaders Riverbed since 2004 and as their EMEA Partner of the Year 2011 with Diamond Partner and Riverbed Authorised Support Partner (RASP) status, Teneo is helping former Expand Networks customers to explore upgrade opportunities to Riverbed through a Free WAN Optimisation Assessment and Migration Service. The Service includes an Asset Buy-Back and Financing Scheme option to make things as easy as possible for you.
