Another Riverbed fan

While it can be boring and very annoying to hear a vendor continue to toot their own horn or pound their own chest about how good they are, it is a bit different when it is the customer that is doing the horn tooting.

Riverbed's customer base has grown to over 4000.  Many of these customers are fanatical about Riverbed and how our products have changed the way they are able to conduct business.  When you think of the impact that accelerating a file copy from 6 minutes down to 6 seconds can have or increasing the throughput of SnapMirror from 10Mbps to well over 200Mbps, Riverbed's products are changing the way that organizations think about their applications, wide-area network environment, and how to better meet overall business objectives.

Roy Rabey
IT Manager, Ensemble Studio
Happy Riverbed Customer

Case in point is a nice gentlemen that stopped by our booth at Interop.  Roy Rabey, IT Manager at Ensemble Studio, a part of Microsoft Game Studios, stated that Riverbed's product "has changed their lives" at Ensemble.  Roy has been in IT for over 30 years and says that Riverbed's technology is one of the biggest IT developments he has seen.  What is getting Roy so fired up about Riverbed?  Well to start with, multi-gigabyte game images that used to take days (yes, he said days) to transfer now transfers in only 6 minutes with Riverbed!

With customer experiences like that, I'll save my breath and let our customers do the horn tooting.
