Network World: IT pros name their favorite IT product

Network World recently published the results of conversations they had with several IT professionals about their favorite IT products. 

A couple of the IT professionals shared that Riverbed was their favorite product.  Below are links to the story and a couple of quotes.

“With the Riverbed Steelhead appliance, we experience LAN-like speed at all times. Our employees are able to access information almost instantaneously, enabling them to serve the families of Wisconsin to the best of their ability. It delivers exactly as promised. First time, first try.”

“As far as I am concerned, managing a production environment without Riverbed Cascade is the evolutionary equivalent of not having opposable thumbs. There is no way I could have my hands around our challenging environment without the use of our Cascade server.  Our total investment with the Riverbed product was fully justified by day nine through reducing problem resolution times and avoidance of production gaps.”
