I Investigated riverbed a number of times a long long time ago, skipping jobs before getting into procurement stages.
A couple of jobs back there was a cupboard full of the things, the guys said they’d been nothing but trouble and got canned as soon as the twit who got them in left/sacked.
You can’t readily compress stuff that is already compressed, video and encrypted stuff don’t yield much if any savings after compression which comprises nigh on all wan traffic today so why pay a fortune for so,etching that has little benefit.
As someone else mentioned, high rate comms is getting cheaper and cheaper every year, 10gb dwdm’s are crazily relatively cheap compared to the frame relay circuits of old.
