"Why is our DR re-replication taking so long?" my supervisor asks. "Is Riverbed working properly?"
After a little research, my answer was: "Yes...too well, in fact -- our 100Mbps LAN is actually the bottleneck. We need to upgrade to gig switches so that our LAN can keep up with our WAN!!"
Since then, we've gotten 80% average data reduction, 99% peak, and over a 5X speedup over our DS3. How's that for ROI? :)
