[THIN] Re: OT: Riverbed and Snapmirror

 

We have seen the same thing with the Citrix WANscaler product. It turns out
that much of what goes over WAN connections can either be optimized in terms
of TCP windows and sessions, CIFS efficiencies, or, simply cached at the
target end. The carriers must know this, but prefer not the say anything :-)

 

I think that WANScaler has one advantage over Riverbed- the traffic is not
encapsulated in a proprietary protocol so that network monitoring tools,
QOS, etc. can still see each individual session and packet...

FYI

 

Those of you that use NetApp filers and SnapMirror for replication may have
heard Riverbed's claim to optimize 80% of the traffic. We put in a couple of
eval units and their claim held up. Only about 20% of our SnapMirror traffic
actually traversed the WAN. Our first snap was about 1.5GB and we sent it
over a T1 (512 CIR) in under an hour. That's pretty impressive.
