Riverbed Whitewater cloud storage gateway models 510, 710, 2010

Friday, 22 July, 2011


The release of three Riverbed Whitewater cloud storage gateway models designed to optimise data protection will allow a wider range of organisations, including small and medium businesses (SMBs), to take advantage of the benefits of cloud data protection.

Models 510 and 710 are designed for SMBs with model 2010 designed for the mid-sized enterprise and targeted use cases in the large enterprise. In addition to hardware-based cloud storage gateway appliances, Riverbed also offers a virtual version of its cloud storage gateway for data protection.

Whitewater cloud storage gateways provide fast, drop-in access to the major public cloud storage providers with local-like performance and connect directly to most popular backup tools.

Whitewater cloud storage gateways deduplicate, compress and encrypt backup data sets before storing them in the local cache and securely accelerating them over the network and into the cloud. This frees backup staff from labour-intensive tape backup and tape infrastructure management with no disruption to their operations. In the event of a disaster, the secure cloud copy can be restored to any location and provides a data recovery solution without the need to purchase and maintain hardware in remote locations.

Key features of the cloud storage gateways include: restores of recent backups occur locally from the secure disk cache and older data can be pulled directly from the cloud; install quickly and easily in less than an hour, requiring only a simple change of the existing backup application disk storage target to the cloud storage gateway solution; reduces the amount of storage required to store backup workloads in the public cloud by a claimed 10-30 times and also minimise the bandwidth required and the transmission costs; provide Secure Socket Layer version 3 (SSLv3) encryption for data in motion and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) 256-bit at rest; flexibility to work with cloud storage providers and most popular backup applications, enabling off-siting of data to multiple locations or transition to different cloud providers.
