THE HYPERCONVERGED NETWORK
The 80/20 Rule – Flipped on its Head

The 80/20 Rule Flip Flopped
80% of end-user traffic will move to the WAN
end – user dissatisfaction and failure to meet business needs
Analysis 1. End-user work habits are becoming increasingly Mobile and collaborative 2. Massive increase in Consolidation & use of Virtualization 3. Applications are changing – Web and Cloud 4. Increasing UCC, and Video 5. Increased Social media
degrade application performance, cause high levels of end-user dissatisfaction

Use cases
Data Center transformation initiatives: Global SharePoint rollout
• Optimize network to deliver high-performing applications to global workforce
• Easy to implement solution allows for a rapid worldwide deployment
• Optimized WAN leads to dramatic network performance improvements, including an 86 percent drop in SharePoint and HTTP traffic
By using Riverbed, Avanade improves every area of network performance by up to 87 percent and saves one million dollars per year.
Data Center transformation initiatives: Consolidation
• No local servers were required • Achieved LAN-like application access at remote
offices and temporary sites • Experienced a significant reduction in the
number of manual IT tasks
needed a flexible solution to connect its temporary construction locations to its data center, but faced major transmission challenges due to the large size of its design files.
Data Center transformation initiatives: Cloud Storage
• Riverbed Whitewater appliances and cloud data storage 50 percent average data reduction (up to 76 percent)
• Four-fold increase in bandwidth capacity speeds archiving process
• Significantly lower costs for long-term data storage
Gensler, a San Francisco-based architecture, design, and planning firm, has terabytes of data that must be retained for 15 to 20 years.
Data Center transformation initiatives: Branch Office
• Riverbed Steelhead appliances & Riverbed Cascade
• 4 times reduction in data backup time • Ability to quickly identify and fix application and
network issues
created a virtualized IT system concept which is deployed to each of the Shanghai stores. With ambitious growth plans for the China market.
Data Center transformation initiatives: Global Collaboration
• 60 percent bandwidth optimization for Lotus Notes
• 90 percent bandwidth optimization for CIFS protocol and HTTP intranet applications
• Network--side visibility into application performance and seamless data transfer
Merck leverages Riverbed® and Orange to achieve up to 90 percent bandwidth optimization and visibility across the network.
Data Center transformation initiatives: Consolidation
• Challenges • Contain global data center sprawl • Improve data security • Increase administrative efficiency to lower operating
costs • Solutions
• Decouple data storage from application servers in remote offices
• Manage data at secure hub data centers and deliver it to offices via WAN
Paul Hastings LLP is a leading international law firm that serves many of the world's top financial institutions and Fortune Global 500 companies.
Data Center transformation initiatives: Cloud Computing Service
• Comprehensive set of ADC capabilities • Flexible service provider pricing to account
for seasonality • Rapid provisioning
Xerox Cloud Computing Services’ deployment of the Stingray™ Traffic Manager ensures scalability, high availability, and optimized application performance in a multi-tenant environment.
Data Center transformation initiatives: SaaS Integration
• Largest Ball Bearing Manufacturer in the World
• 46,000 Employees • Users in China, Singapore, India
and Sweden • All accessing Office 365 DC in Virginia
For all the great benefits of software as a service (SaaS) there’s one big drawback: application data travels across the public Internet, which is not as reliable and as fast as a private IP WAN that typically connects branch offices
