Riverbed Previews the SteelFusion Azure-Ready Edge at Microsoft Ignite; will allow edge sites to leverage the Microsoft Azure cloud as primary data center or storage tierSAN FRANCISCO, CA – Sept. 25, 2017 — /BackupReview.info/ — Riverbed Technology, today at the Microsoft Ignite Conference, previewed the Riverbed® SteelFusion™ Azure-Ready Edge, extending the flexibility and benefits of Azure cloud storage out to the edge of the network. By supporting Microsoft Hyper-V as the virtualization engine, the SteelFusion Azure-Ready Edge will give remote locations direct access to the Azure cloud for use as a primary storage tier, allowing data to be provisioned, protected and recovered directly from Azure. With this new capability, SteelFusion will continue to deliver the same unprecedented simplicity to complex and costly tasks associated with remote IT operations, and the ability to extend investments in a private data center, the Azure cloud, or a hybrid combination to all edge locations in the business, for better agility, data security, application performance and infrastructure flexibility. Tweet This: Riverbed to extend the flexibility of @Azure #cloud storage all the way to the edge of the network: http://rvbd.ly/2hoDq2S Hybrid architectures are becoming the industry standard as organizations look to address the pain of surging capex models by augmenting, and in some cases replacing, traditional data center architectures with cloud-based infrastructure. But while the cloud promised increased scale and efficiency, it has yet to deliver simplified IT operations at remote sites and branch offices. In fact, the rise of cloud and Internet services has created more complexity and cost associated with managing edge IT. According to ESG, 91% of enterprise IT executives responsible for remote or branch office (ROBO) decision-making have indicated the cloud has increased IT management complexity.[1] BLOG: Extend Cloud Resources to the Azure-Ready Edge “Over 1,200 enterprises have chosen SteelFusion as an edge IT platform, dramatically streamlining operations for remote business locations. We value our long-standing relationship with Microsoft, and with the SteelFusion Azure-Ready Edge, we will provide joint customers with even more options for managing edge IT,” said Paul O’Farrell, Senior Vice President and General Manager of SteelHead, SteelFusion and SteelConnect at Riverbed. “With this solution, organizations will be able to instantly realize the benefits of using Azure cloud storage wherever they do business.” This announcement builds on the SteelFusion March 2016 release, which announced support for Azure through Microsoft StorSimple. SteelFusion is now further expanding upon its cloud momentum and strengthening its relationship with Microsoft with the Azure-Ready Edge. “As we see more and more enterprises implementing a cloud-first strategy, Microsoft Azure has helped customers achieve the efficiency, scalability and cost savings benefits needed to keep pace in the digital age,” said Tad Brockway, Partner Director Program Management at Microsoft. “With Riverbed SteelFusion, we will be extending the same benefits of the Azure cloud to the edge of the network, which remains a critical component to the ongoing success of the business in today’s distributed IT landscape.” Riverbed is previewing the new capabilities of the Azure-Ready Edge this week in the Riverbed booth (#709) at the Microsoft Ignite Conference in Orlando, Florida.
