Internet Research Group Publishes Research
Study On Riverbed Atlas
Los Altos, CA – October 22, 2008 –
Internet Research Group (IRG) today announced the release of its latest
report on technology infrastructure, “Riverbed Atlas: An IRG
Overview.” Last month Riverbed Technology (Nasdaq:RVBD) outlined
its vision for entering the storage market with the announcement of the
Atlas appliance family that leverages Riverbed’s SDR data reduction
technology developed for its successful Steelhead WAN optimization product
family. This new research report analyzes Riverbed’s Atlas strategy,
opportunity and challenges over the short and long term.
“Riverbed’s innovative Atlas offering is at
the same time a natural evolution from their successful WAN optimization
product and a very bold new direction for the company,” noted Peter Christy,
co-founder of IRG. “Storage has traditionally been a very difficult market
for new market entrants to crack because of enterprise storage managers’
understandable reticence to depend on a new company for critical data
assets. Time will tell how Riverbed will fare, but the offering is
certainly worth watching.”
This new report - “Riverbed Atlas: An IRG
Overview” – looks at the initial planned release of Atlas, the Atlas market
opportunity and what might come beyond as the product family evolves.
Vendors directly impacted by Riverbed’s Atlas
offering include: Blue Coat, Cisco, Citrix, Data Domain, EMC, Expand, Gear6,
HP, Hitachi, IBM, Juniper Networks, Microsoft, NetApp, Silver Peak and
Symantec.
