Edge Virtual Server Infrastructure Extends the Boundaries of the DataCenter to the Edge of the Enterprise

Riverbed Technology, the IT performance company, today announced 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. But unlike VDI, edge-VSI does this while delivering 20-50% lower total cost of ownership (TCO).  Riverbed® Granite^TM 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 and use cases not addressed by any WAN optimization approach today.
