Complete Branch Consolidation
Data safe in the data center, LAN access from remote locations.
Picture yourself consolidating servers and data from remote locations to your central data center, where you have complete control. Now picture end users seeing no difference in application performance, even across vast distances or during WAN outages. Then, imagine being able to instantly provision or restore a branch office. All this and more is now achievable thanks to our relationship with Riverbed and the Riverbed Granite™ appliances.
Riverbed Granite is an edge virtual server infrastructure solution. (Edge-VSI) It enables customers who have kept high performance applications locally in branch offices to consolidate them into the data centre whilst retaining the required LAN response times for clients.
In the past, data centers and edge offices were managed through separate operational processes, procedures and infrastructures. Granite bridges the gap between the data center and global offices at the edge, allowing for seamless integration between data center and globally distributed operations.
Business Benefits:
Storage/Server Centralisation
Riverbed Granite enables you to consolidate and centrally manage remote servers and storage while streamlining your data protection. You can continue operations even during network outages, improve security, and still give your end users the LAN performance they crave.
Instant Branch Recovery
Riverbed Granite eliminates the headache caused by branch office backup and restore while simplifying the recovery of servers, applications, and data after disasters occur. With Granite, you can restore operations in a matter of minutes rather than days and you can consolidate your branch office servers into your datacenter without sacrificing any of the benefits of having servers close to your users – all at a lower TCO.
Backup Consolidation
If you back up data at your branch or remote locations, you may want to reconsider. Backing up everything at your central datacenter, where it is safe, reliable, and efficient is a better option. Riverbed Granite makes it feasible by consolidating all your data, no matter the distance or location, at the datacenter.
Getting Data Out of High Risk Locations
Whether it is a natural disaster, hacking, political turmoil, or outright theft, almost every remote location should be considered high-risk. To combat these risks, Riverbed Granite stores your data where it's safest, in your datacenter, not in high-risk locations. The best part is that your end users still get LAN performance, even during WAN outages.
Branch Office VDI Delivery
Get an exceptional end-user experience for your distributed virtual desktop. With Riverbed Granite, your branch end users get the high-performance desktop experience they deserve — even from far away. Avoid the flood of support calls with Granite technology. It projects virtual desktops to your far-flung end users, eliminating WAN challenges while giving IT central control, security, and costs savings.
Granite introduces a new architectural approach that does for edge servers outside of the data center what virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) did for desktops. (Allow IT to consolidate and manage all edge servers in the data center). Granite does what was previously thought impossible: it allows storage to be decoupled from its server over thousands of miles and actually work as if the storage were local to the server. End users in edge locations get uncompromised performance, while IT management is able to manage, backup, provision, patch, expand and protect the data, all within the four walls of the data center.
