Riverbed Granite Brings Revolution in Server Infrastructure
Allows IT to consolidate and manage all edge servers in the data center
Feb 07, 2012
Riverbed Technology has brought a new architectural approach called edge virtual server infrastructure (edge-VSI) that does for edge servers what virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) did for desktops. It allows IT to consolidate and manage all edge servers in the data center.
Riverbed Granite is the revolutionary new product that enables edge-VSI. With Granite, global enterprises can achieve complete consolidation of edge applications, servers and storage to the data center, while delivering services to the edge of the enterprise as if they were local. Edge-VSI is complementary to wide area network (WAN) optimization, accelerating performance for applications.
“As we talk to our customers and ask them to whiteboard their ideal IT infrastructure they are highlighting the need to have centralized control of sprawled infrastructure. The evolution of virtualization and consolidation, along with Granite, is allowing organizations to achieve this dream,” said Eric Wolford, executive vice president and GM, products at Riverbed.
