2 We would have never even thought to download large files over a 3G card before Steelhead Mobile. Remote employees are no longer difficult to collaborate with. Now they can operate with the rest of their team. Chris Pinckney, CIO, Psomas Ranked as one of ENR s Top 100 Engineering Firms in the US, Psomas specializes in the land development, water, and transportation markets. Since its founding in 1946, Psomas has grown into a full-service consulting firm of nearly 800 employees.

3 Make 3,000 Miles Feel Like 30 Feet As your company has grown, you ve seen business move beyond headquarters. Your customers, partners, and suppliers are now around the corner, across town, or all over the globe. And each part of your organization needs to freely participate in business no matter where it s happening, no matter how fast it occurs. That s what Riverbed Technology is all about: delivering a faster, more connected world by creating working environments that are so fast and seamless that geographical and technological constraints become irrelevant. Our award-winning line of wide area network (WAN) optimization solutions liberate businesses from common IT constraints by increasing application performance, enabling consolidation, and providing enterprise-wide network and application visibility all while eliminating the costly need to increase bandwidth, storage, or servers. Thousands of companies with distributed operations trust Riverbed to make their IT infrastructure faster, less expensive, and more responsive. Conquering Geography Without Breaking the Bank Riverbed works everywhere with anyone on any platform (like Linux, Mac, SAN, etc.) to eliminate geographical limitations. By fundamentally changing the way people and organizations work over long distances, Riverbed allows people in Atlanta to collaborate with people in Amsterdam as if they were in the same office. Entire globally-dispersed companies start doing business faster and more reliably. Suddenly, they can take on more customers and serve them at a lower cost. Servers and other equipment can be centralized and deployed to meet strategic needs, not merely geographic ones. IT infrastructure becomes more flexible and cost-effective, data more protected and secure. And suddenly your whole organization even mobile workers becomes faster, more nimble, and more productive. Going Where No Technology Has Gone Before Riverbed offers solutions that systematically address all factors that slow performance and delivery over WANs, including bandwidth constraints, application chattiness, and storage limitations. And only Riverbed extends these high levels of optimization to mobile workers, arming road warriors with the speed to be as productive and to collaborate as effectively as headquarters-based employees. As enterprises continue their march toward mobility and an increasingly distributed organization, the importance of accelerating access to network assets and applications proves increasingly critical. Optimizing Users and Applications in a Mobile World, Forrester, October 2007 Riverbed Steelhead Appliances In short, by optimizing performance of data and applications from the data center to remote offices to mobile workers and back again, Riverbed prepares you to take your place in the global economy whether you work in Berlin, Beijing, or Boston. Or all three.

4 The Yankee Group found that only 40 percent of workers operate from corporate headquarters, while 41 percent are based out of branch offices. Mobile WAN Optimization, Yankee Group, 2009

5 There are three major technologies that have changed the way we do business in this firm. One is , two is the Web, and three is WAN optimization from Riverbed. It s that important to us. It has allowed us to do work we could never do before in ways we could never do it. Bruce Bartolf, CTO, Gensler Gensler Architecture Worldwide is the largest architecture firm in the world, with 35 offices in the US, Europe, and Asia.

6 Moving at Speeds that Shrink the World Riverbed WAN optimization solutions surpass alternatives by enabling acceleration at all three key communication points of the enterprise: data center/headquarters, remote offices, and mobile workers. Easily deployed within any organization, Steelhead appliances from Riverbed are scalable from ten to hundreds of thousands of users, transparently accelerating traffic end to end. Steelhead Mobile software is deployed on laptops to complete the circle of optimization, giving mobile workers the same level of performance as their office-based peers. And Riverbed Optimization System (RiOS ) software combines patented data de-duplication, TCP optimization, application-level latency optimizations, and remote office file and management functionality. With Riverbed s plug-and-play ease of implementation, any enterprise can be optimized to never-before-realized speeds enabling geographically dispersed teams, partners, and locales to change the way they do business by sharing documents, applications, and data with LAN-like performance and security. It s Not Location, Location It s Acceleration, Acceleration Companies of every size ranging from the Fortune 50 and Global 1000 to growing companies with a single office rely upon Riverbed to bring the promise of speed, flexibility, and IT cost savings to their enterprise. These organizations enjoy unprecedented results because Riverbed solutions address all the factors that impact the performance and efficiency of data and applications. The result? Accelerated data delivery, protection, and storage at a reduced infrastructure cost. Applications run up to 100 times faster Accelerate file sharing for Microsoft Exchange, Lotus Notes, Windows, or UNIX, and dramatically improve collaboration and productivity with faster FTP, HTTP, Web applications, secure SSL-encrypted traffic, Microsoft SQL Servers, and other key enterprise applications used on WAN. Reduce bandwidth costs By eliminating redundant network traffic, you can delay or avoid WAN bandwidth upgrades and even deprovision current bandwidth to significantly reduce costs. Freedom to simplify, consolidate, and protect Reduce the cost, complexity, and vulnerability of your IT infrastructure without degrading performance. Consolidating servers, applications, and backup for the purposes of the serverless branch office enables you to not only dramatically cut IT maintenance and management costs, but be more compliant with industry regulations mandating data security. Quicker recovery, data protection, and business continuity solutions Cut backup windows by up to 95%, enabling more frequent backups across the WAN, more effective data center replication, greater data protection, and elimination of the inefficiencies and security risks associated with remote office tape backups. Mobile workers collaborate in real time Executives, salespeople, engineers, consultants, or anyone, nearly anywhere, can benefit from LAN-like connectivity to business applications for continuous productivity. And by accelerating data and applications over their private VPN, companies can improve collaboration with strategic partners and suppliers as well. Gain greater network visibility and control Cost-effectively manage change within your existing IT ecosystem so you can ensure the availability, performance, and security of mission-critical data and remote applications. Based on the average investment of $21,360 per 100 users, the payback period from deploying the Riverbed solution averaged 7.3 months for the companies surveyed, yielding an average ROI of 484%. Adding Business Value with Wide-Area Data Services, IDC, 2007

7 Financial savings come both from the avoidance of costly bandwidth upgrades and the reduction in IT management costs. By reducing the amount of data traversing the WAN, the savings in bandwidth costs alone paid for our investment in Riverbed. Steve Schmitt, IT Manager, Le Coq Sportif Le Coq Sportif, the French sporting manufacturer established in 1948 by Émile Camuset, supplied all of the great athletes, clubs, federations, and competitions in Europe throughout the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. Performance Goes Up, Costs Go Down Way Down With Riverbed, performance doesn t cost, it saves. Less traffic means lower bandwidth requirements expensive upgrades become unnecessary. Serverless remote offices are finally a reality. Go ahead, consolidate IT assets everything from file servers to backup systems to IT support and reap the savings. You ll eliminate redundant operating costs, save on disaster recovery, and cut bandwidth costs all while enabling employees to work more productively than ever before.

8 Faster Time to the Possible Riverbed unlocks the potential of the global economy by changing the way business works. Imagine the leaps in innovation your geographically dispersed employees can achieve with faster, more effective collaboration. Revolutionize your supply chain on a global scale regardless of where your employees are located. Make your organization the nimble operation it needs to be in today s ultra fast-paced world. With Riverbed, globally distributed architects more rapidly design innovative new buildings. Engineers on opposite ends of the US collaborate on storm water management systems to protect and preserve water resources. A manufacturer of wireless telecommunications products rolls out new offerings ahead of schedule and the competition. And a retail apparel brand expands its reach around the globe. Whatever the business objective, Riverbed makes the impossible, possible. It s just that simple. We re on the road all the time, working from client sites, at projects, or anywhere in between. Steelhead Mobile software delivers performance for our mobile workers that is entirely comparable to the application performance we enjoy here at the office. Mike Simpson, US IT Manager, Golder Associates Golder Associates is one of the most respected engineering and environmental services groups in the world. Founded in 1960, Golder now employs over 5,000 people who operate from more than 150 offices located throughout Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, and South America.

9 We ve evaluated several of the WAN optimization providers and found that Riverbed offers the most comprehensive solution available today. David Galton-Fenzi, Group Sales Director, Zycko Zycko distributes for over 35 leading IT solutions vendors, enabling its 3,000+ reseller, systems integrator, and service provider customers to deliver best-in-class open-system convergent solutions to customers around the world. Operating from 13 offices on four continents, with over 250 staff, Zycko achieves annual sales of over $180 million.

10 Cisco Customers Love Riverbed Over 6,500 customers the majority running Cisco networks rely on tens of thousands of Steelhead appliances to support remote offices and data centers on every continent around the globe. Likewise, Steelhead Mobile software extends this performance to mobile workers wherever they are. Our customers, including more than 100 of the Fortune 500, encompass some of the largest banks in the world, major oil companies, government agencies, major manufacturers, and thousands of small businesses.

Michael Geldart, Senior Manager, Computer Operations, Cubist Pharmaceuticals Cubist Pharmaceuticals is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the research, development, and commercialization of pharmaceutical products that address unmet medical needs in the acute care environment. Along with routers and switches, Steelhead is now part of our standard product set when we set up remote offices. It has really improved our ability to deliver quality data services to our remote offices without having to install servers in every location. Rich Jackson, VP of Technology Operations, Hilton Grand Vacations Hilton Grand Vacations Company, LLC, a division of Hilton Hotels Corporation, is recognized as the leading global hospitality company. It operates sales offices in New York, Osaka, Tokyo, Guam, and Orlando and has resorts in locales that include Oahu, New York, Orlando, and Las Vegas.

Our extensive partner network includes industry-leading companies with complementary technology and expertise, as well as hundreds of resellers throughout North America, Europe, and Asia.

11 All in all, it was easy to make the case that Steelhead appliances would pay for themselves in a year or less, enabling major savings for the company. Now that the implementation is complete, everyone agrees that it was a complete success. Adam Rasner, Director of Corporate Networking, Rayonier Rayonier is a leading international forest products company with more than 2,000 employees and offices on five continents. We re Not Just Changing the World. We re Shrinking It.
