Riverbed for Microsoft Exchange

Microsoft ExchangeMicrosoft Exchange performs so poorly on WANs that large enterprises often deploy distributed Exchange servers to support their local users. Maintaining many Exchange servers is expensive and complex however and often puts critical, confidential data at risk.

Riverbed was the first WAN optimisation vendor to provide an application-layer protocol optimisation for Microsoft Exchange 2003 for both office and mobile workers, and has continued to improve RiOS to bring Layer 7 optimisation to Exchange 2003, 2007 and 2010, allowing customers to consolidate their Exchange servers without sacrificing performance for end users.

RiOS 6.5 gives Steelheads the ability to deliver industry-first optimisation for Outlook Anywhere. Riverbed has combined its capability to optimise HTTPS with new RPC optimisations to simultaneously accelerate Outlook Anywhere and reduce the application's bandwidth consumption.

Riverbed Steelheads can give you 8x faster email transmissions to multiple recipients in a branch and 34x faster transmission for a sender and recipient in the same branch.
