One of the major responsibilities for an IT manager is how to keep up with increasing WAN traffic demands but without increasing bandwidth or the budget of its WAN links. As the normal approach for companies is to increase line speed to match traffic demands Riverbed offers an alternative design option to break this relationship.
Businesses with more than one office will most defiantly have a WAN link, which will use varying carrier technologies. The speed of its WAN links is usually restricted by the budget which is fitting to provide the adequate bandwidth to allow the remote office users to experience the same application speeds as head office.
