Riverbed Technology(NASDAQ:RVBD) has announced that Chicago-based trading firm, Spot Trading, has deployed Riverbed Whitewater cloud storage appliances for efficient and secure transport of data to and from Amazon Glacier from Amazon Web Services (AWS). The switch to the cloud is expected to save the company’s $500,000 in storage infrastructure costs while securing Spot Trading’s data.
By deploying Riverbed Whitewater as part of its cloud strategy, Spot Trading can now encrypt and deduplicate traffic to the cloud, further reducing deployment costs and securing data sent to and from the cloud.
Terry Wise, Director, Worldwide Partner Ecosystem, Amazon Web Services, said, “With Amazon Glacier, customers can reliably store data in a storage service designed with eleven nines of durability for as little as $0.01 per gigabyte per month, a significant savings compared to on-premises solutions. Riverbed Whitewater gives customers added flexibility in how they can access Amazon Glacier for their long-term archival and tape replacement strategies.”
By compressing and deduplicating data before sending it to the cloud, Whitewater will help reduce the amount of data stored in the cloud up to 30x, further, lowering the cost of storing data in Amazon Glacier.
