Autodesk University 2011 recap

Autodesk University was lively this year with over 7000 attendees.  Those of us who attended from Riverbed had the opportunity to sit in on different sessions highlighting the importance of WAN optimization and acceleration to be used in conjunction with Autodesk solutions.

A recent whitepaper that Autodesk published “Speed collaboration using Autodesk Vault and Riverbed WAN Optimization” had the classrooms talking and customers telling their own stories.   With up to 99% reduction in file transfer time noted in the whitepaper, presenter Ross Tanner, Data Management Solutions MFG of Autodesk, said he was “shocked” as he discussed the results in his session “Go Big or Go Home!”.

We also had a chance to present to the Authorized Training Center audience on the show floor, where we discussed breaking the WAN performance barrier to an audience of Autodesk trainers.   Watch the presentation here:
