Announcing RiOS 7.0: Batteries Not Included

Today's guest blogger is Joe Ghory, Product Marketing Manager for Riverbed Steelhead Appliances.

In this time of celebration there are three words guaranteed to darken everyone's holiday spirits (no not "Bad Sweater Party").  The phrase that torments this season of giving is even more insidious: “Batteries not Included”. Every December 25 countless would-be revelers pull on parkas over pajamas and go in search of these crucial givers of life.  For the IT community this annual exercise in frustration illustrates an important principle of planning: considerations that may seem secondary to a project can have major consequences.
 
Monday’s release of RiOS 7.0 introduced a series of new features for virtual desktops that highlight the value of considering the impact that seemingly small deployment decisions can have on overall deployments. 

Currently Riverbed customers can overcome the performance barriers to delivering desktop virtualization for organizations utilizing Citrix XenApp and XenDesktop, VMware View, and Microsoft RDP and RemoteFX.  In RiOS 7.0 we added support, for ClientDrive Mapping and ICA over SSL.  For many VDI managers decisions regarding client drive mapping fall below a long list of other considerations associated with a successful VDI roll out.  Unfortunately, what they frequently quickly discover is that when you attempt to interact with a local drive (eg USB stick), it has to read and write across the entire distance from client to host, which can lead to maddeningly slow performance.   Fortunately, with RiOS 7.0 every Who in Whoville can enjoy the benefits of local-like performance despite this distance. 

Performance is also the central focus of our ICA over SSL enhancements in RiOS 7.0.  The introduction of optimization for this deployment architecture means that managers deploying Citrix have even moreflexibility to provide users with a local like desktop experience.
 
When taken in combination with our other existing VDI features, RiOS 7.0 is the gift that keeps on giving brining performance to every good girl and boy in your enterprise.
