Key Benefit:

• Optimizes all WAN traffic, both TCP and UDP
•  Eliminates 60% to 95% of WAN Traffic
•  Implements QoS mechanisms that account for both latency and
    bandwidth
•  Helps support deployments and the overall across the
    enterprise

Eliminate Redundant WAN Traffic

Data Streamlining optimizes all WAN traffic, typically reducing bandwidth consumption by 60% to 95%. Data Streamlining works by reducing the transmission of redundant bytes and by optionally prioritizing data based on bandwidth and latency requirements. Data Streamlining works across the key applications that enterprises care about the most, like Windows and UNIX file sharing (including MS Office), Email (including MS Exchange and Lotus Notes), CAD/PDM applications, ERP, databases, and performing data reduction on all applications that rely on TCP.

Data Streamlining is highly scalable, with peak data reduction ratios that can be as high as a 100:1, and sometimes even higher. At the same time, Data Streamlining can detect very small-grained changes because the average size of a segment stored on disk is approximately 100 bytes, or about the same as a sentence of text. Even block-based differential compression approaches come nowhere near the results that Riverbed delivers.
