Sonic Foundry, Inc. (NASDAQ: SOFO), the trusted global leader for video
creation and management
solutions, today announced that it has joined the Riverbed®-Ready
Technology Alliance program to bring new capabilities to both Sonic
Foundry and Riverbed customers, expand the value and impact of Riverbed
solutions, and help customers master the video challenges of the hybrid
enterprise.
The integration of Mediasite by Sonic Foundry with Riverbed solutions
offers advanced technologies and market-leading solutions to accelerate
and optimize live and on-demand enterprise video delivery without
disrupting existing network traffic. The solution provides customers
with a tested, verified, and supported solution for scalable and
secure video delivery behind the firewall.
The program framework enables partners to extend the Riverbed
Application Performance Platform™, the most complete platform to give
CIOs unparalleled visibility to deliver, optimize, and control all IT
resources across the hybrid enterprise. Today, hybrid architectures and
SaaS applications bring significant benefits to
organizations—agility/time to market, cost savings, flexibility—but also
challenges, such as the complexity of multiple clouds, networks, service
providers, and SLAs, plus end users everywhere, and hundreds of
applications (including SaaS apps like Salesforce, Microsoft
Azure/Office 365, and Amazon Web Services) that need to be managed and
delivered across a mix of networks.
Riverbed-Ready partners will focus in areas such as security, cloud and
virtualization, business applications, network performance management,
application performance management, networking, and storage. Partners
can leverage Riverbed
open APIs and additional development tools to help with
customization, integration, and automation.
“Joining Riverbed-Ready allows us to address the unique video challenges
of the corporate enterprise, by offering an integrated, tested solution
for high quality, scalable and secure video delivery behind the
firewall,” said Gary Weis, chief executive officer of Sonic Foundry.
“Riverbed and Sonic Foundry are able to deliver solutions that help our
mutual and prospective customers realize maximum efficiencies in their
hybrid enterprise video deployments.”
“Through the Riverbed-Ready program, Riverbed and Sonic Foundry will
provide our customers integrated solutions that extend the Riverbed
Application Performance Platform,” said Katie Colbert, vice president,
global technology alliances at Riverbed. “Together, Riverbed and its
partners are providing end-to-end solutions that provide deep
visibility, optimization, and control to inspect, direct, and protect
workloads across the hybrid enterprise.”
Riverbed Application Performance Platform product families include:
Riverbed® SteelHead™ to optimize and control application delivery
throughout the hybrid enterprise; Riverbed® SteelCentral™ for end-to-end
visibility, analytics, and diagnostics across the hybrid enterprise; and
Riverbed® SteelFusion™ to virtualize and consolidate 100% of physical
