Riverbed optimizes WAN Performance for Microsoft RemoteFX

Riverbed Technology has announced that Riverbed Steelhead appliances have been optimized for Microsoft RemoteFX, a new set of graphic capabilities delivered in Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1.

Support for RemoteFX delivers the full benefits of an enhanced virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) user experience over a Wide Area Network (WAN). For customers with distributed infrastructures and mobile workers, Riverbed offers a solution for VDI environments that enables organizations to overcome WAN performance issues when they deploy VDI solutions over the WAN.

Microsoft RemoteFX introduces a new set of end-user experience enhancements to the Microsoft Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). These enhancements enable a rich, local-like desktop environment over the network. With RemoteFX, users can work remotely in a Windows Aero desktop environment, watch full-motion video, enjoy Silverlight animations, run 3D applications, and use USB peripherals, just as they do on a local desktop. RemoteFX virtualizes the GPU (graphics processing unit) and utilizes advanced codecs to enable an enhanced user experience for VDI; RemoteFX has been optimized for low-latency LAN environments. For customers who want to deliver a rich user experience over a WAN with limited bandwidth or high traffic, Riverbed Steelhead appliances optimize RDP traffic over the WAN. This helps ensure optimal performance for RemoteFX so that end-users can realize the full benefits of enhanced desktop virtualization.

"As today's enterprises demand a seamless, full-fidelity virtual desktop environment, Microsoft customers can use RemoteFX to deliver rich graphical experiences that match the experience on a local desktop," said Manlio Vecchiet, Director of Product Management for Windows Server, Microsoft. "Riverbed optimizes network traffic over a WAN so that Microsoft customers can extend the benefits of a virtual desktop infrastructure enhanced by RemoteFX to use cases beyond the traditional LAN environment."
