IT infrastructure performance company for networks, applications and
storage, today announced its participation at Interop New York 2009 taking
place November 16-20, 2009 at the Jacob Javits Convention Center.
Riverbed® industry expert will lead conference discussions regarding IT

of WAN optimization solutions. Additionally, Emile Rashkovich, chief
information officer of Riverbed customer Sentinel Real Estate Corporation, will participate in the CIO Boot

Interop provides a forum to discuss powerful innovations and solutions the
industry has to offer. The conference includes in-depth educational
programs, workshops, real-world demonstrations and live technology
implementations. Attendees can stop by the Riverbed booth (#321) to learn
how Riverbed IT infrastructure performance solutions accelerate application
performance and data transfer for remote offices, data centers and mobile
workers. Enterprises leverage Riverbed WAN optimization products to improve
remote and mobile employee productivity, enable consolidation and private
clouds, and provide enterprise-wide network and application visibility, all
while eliminating the need to increase bandwidth, storage or servers.
Nearly 7,000 customers, across a wide range of markets, have implemented
Riverbed WAN optimization solutions in their geographically dispersed
organizations.
Customers Share Riverbed WAN Optimization Experiences
Within the Riverbed booth, attendees will hear from customers, such as law
firm Turner Padget Graham & Laney P.A., who will discuss its Riverbed WAN
optimization solution deployment.
Emile Rashkovich, chief information officer of Sentinel Real Estate Corporation, will participate in the CIO Boot
Camp and will discuss how Sentinel Real Estate Corporation deployed 150
Steelhead® appliances to support a US-wide IT consolidation/private cloud
effort. As a result, Sentinel employees working in dispersed offices are
able to more efficiently collaborate due to the dramatic improvements in
application performance. "Riverbed's pioneering WAN optimization solutions
are well established to help enterprises in distributed environments like
ours," said Rashkovich. "Sentinel has experienced dramatic performance
gains and much faster download times that not only helped justify our
consolidation initiative to our c-suite but has also improved remote office
staff productivity and client satisfaction."
CIO
Boot Camp: The Need for Speed: How Sentinel is Driving Business Value
and Dramatic Improvements in Employee Productivity
Who: Emile Rashkovich, senior vice president and chief information
officer, Sentinel Real Estate Corporation
Apurva Davé, senior director, product marketing, Riverbed
When: Tuesday, Nov. 17, 10:30 a.m. - 11:00 a.m.
Where: Room 1E17
Why: Emile Rashkovich, senior vice president and chief information officer
at Riverbed customer Sentinel Real Estate, will discuss the consolidation
of Sentinel's infrastructure into a private cloud deployment across more
than 150 offices in the United States. Sentinel experienced a dramatic
performance improvement across a broad range of applications including
Yardi, a Web-based, real estate asset and property management application
used for managing most of Sentinel's properties. The presentation will
provide details on how Riverbed WAN optimization solutions enabled the
company to avoid costly bandwidth upgrades and cut its monthly
communications bill in half while Sentinel employees working in dispersed
offices are able to more efficiently collaborate due to the dramatic
improvements in application and IT infrastructure performance.
Riverbed Drives Discussions on IT Infrastructure and Cloud Performance
Conference keynotes and sessions will focus on an integrated view of IT
solutions that will help increase productivity and profitability while
cutting costs and improving services. A Riverbed executive will lead
discussions at several conference sessions:
Conference Session: A Comparison of WAN Optimization Controllers
Who: Apurva Davé, senior director of product marketing, Riverbed
When: Thursday, Nov. 19, 9:00 a.m. - 10:00 a.m.
Where: Room 1E07
What: The vast majority of enterprise users work in branch offices or work
remotely and access applications over a relatively low-speed, high-latency
wide-area network (WAN). This use of the WAN causes many applications to
perform badly. To mitigate the impact of the WAN on application
performance, many vendors have developed a solution referred to as a WAN
Optimization Controller (WOC). In this PowerPoint-free session, leading WOC
vendors will be asked questions to identify the similarities and
differences between their products.
Conference Session: The Impact of IT Virtualization on Applications and
Networks
Who: Apurva Davé, senior director of product marketing, Riverbed
When: Thursday, Nov. 19, 11:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.
Where: Room 1E07
What: Virtualization is not new. What is new is the great interest in
deploying server, storage and desktop virtualization. While each of these
forms of virtualization can provide significant business value, each has
the potential to significantly complicate the task of ensuring acceptable
application performance. In this session, vendors from different areas of
IT will identify network technologies, designs and best practices that
enable IT organizations to enjoy the benefits of virtualization without
enduring the potential pitfalls.
