That's some awesome reduction figures, especially on your SQL traffic. I noted that you have negative optimization on port 50157, that's usually a sign that the traffic is encrypted. This actually means more traffic is sent over the WAN: the traffic itself plus the RiOS overheads involved with optimization. I would recommend that you consider passing this through to save a few more GBs :)

We have been using around 10 Riverbed boxes across the global locations for almost 5 years & the performance is very very good. The ever best optimizing Device across the market. We have also tried with other WAN optimizing solutions & we are not much satisfied with those boxes.

Just see our Graph with the ever best optimization achieved & we have reduced drastically spending on our Bandwidth on the Annual recurrence cost. We decided to invest on the boxes & we have also started deploying the boxes where ever we have got more than 100 users.

The latency has also got reduced due to proper link utilization & even on heavy data copying it works perfectly & the failure on the hardware is very very less & the support team is also doing well.

I strongly recommend deploying these boxes instead of spending on the High bandwidth !!! :-)
