Take a listen to this information packed interview with Evan Marcus, the Product Evangelist
for Riverbed Technology. Riverbed is a Carousel partner that specializes in improving performance and security for Wide-Area-Networks and Cloud solutions. Essentially, their technology makes networks run a lot faster, making your WAN feel like a LAN. Topics we discuss:
Issues to Consider when Migrating to Cloud Services
- Performance – How to ensure users get the same or improved performance relative to local services.
- Security – How to provide the same level of security on the cloud as you do locally
- Vendor Lockin – Avoiding having your data trapped with a vendor you want to ditch
- Network Protocols – They are different for cloud solutions. What do companies need to do to provide a seamless transition for users
- Cost Controls – How to manage data transfer, storage and throughput once you’ve made the migration. How planning ahead helps keep costs from spiraling out of control
How Businesses Can Improve Performance
- Streamline Negotiations – TCP was not meant for long trips…there are too many negotiations necessary. Technology can eliminate all this repetitive handshaking and cut down on negotiations 60 to 90 percent
- Streamline Applications – Understanding application protocols can eliminate many redundant negotiations and data transfer signiificantly improving performance and throughput
- Deduplicate Data Streams – Drastically cut down on the amount of information passed back and forth. Once data (a logo for example) has been sent once anywhere on the network, all future transfers of that logo become a simple metadata identifier.
Securing your Cloud Solutions
Transferring data over the public Internet can create security issues. We review how to secure data in motion as well as data at rest.
With businesses pressing ahead so quickly on virtualization and cloud projects, making sure your network is delivering top-notch performance and security is critical to project success. If this is a focus for your organization, this podcast is a must listen. For more information on how to get the most out of your wide-area-network and cloud solutions, Contact Carousel today.
