The Top Blog of 2011 -- RiOS 7.0

Time now to reveal the #1 Riverbed blog post of 2011. 

This decision is not one that we've made lightly.  We consulted with The Motion Picture Academy of Arts and Sciences, the Nobel Committee in Oslo, the Baseball

Writers of America, and we even interviewed people on the street.  When none of those gave us any useful guidance, we flipped some coins and rolled some multi-sided dice, and came to our final decision.

The #1 Riverbed blog of 2011 was originally published in December, and was all about the announcement of RiOS 7.0, and the series of follow-on blog articles that came after it.

The original announcement blog was followed by a series of additional blog articles and videos over the following few days that enumerated many of the exciting new features that can be found in RiOS 7.0.

You can find the additional blog articles about those features listed below:

• Accelerating Satellite WAN traffic
• Live video splitting over HTTP
• The Embedded Shark inside Your Steelhead
• Improved Virtual Desktop Acceleration
• Riverbed Loves ALL Traffic
• More details on HTTP Stream Splitting

Plus there are a series of videos and podcasts all about RiOS 7.0's new features:

• The overall announcement and discussion
• We love ALL traffic
• Video Optimization
• More on Video Optimization
• On-demand Packet Capture and Analysis

And that takes us to the end of our first-ever end-of-year review of our blog.  Thank you for staying with us.

And while we're thanking people, special thanks to Bob Gilbert (and Jasmine!), Steve Riley, and all of our regular blog contributors.  We are looking forward to another great year in the blog.
