Compellent: Fast data replication over Riverbed devices

David Spark reporting for Riverbed at Interop '09, Las Vegas, NV.

I chatted with Jason Hardy, Storage Architect for Compellent Technologies, a block level storage area networking manufacturer which means they have block level (that's down to the 1s and 0s) intelligence of the storage environment. Knowing that much, they can data storage activities very quickly and efficiently such as data replication, which they do over Riverbed devices, plus data recovery.

I am just getting to know about the Fast data replication services over long distance by your company. Could you please give me a brief and concise feature of the solution and how it can be useful in an environment where communication (bandwidth) is a problem

Are you referring to Riverbed or our partner Compellent?

For Riverbed, our Steelhead appliance employs groundbreaking data depuplication technology combined with innovative TCP level optimization to achieve up to 55 times faster data backup and replication times. Steelhead appliances will also reduce bandwidth utilization by up to 90% for these disaster recovery operations. Riverbed allows yo to get the most use out of your bandwidth when performing data backup and replication using platforms such as Compellent.
