Award-winning firm uses Riverbed to more safely
and economically store CAD, GIS and other data as compared to tape
and disk-to-disk backup systems
Riverbed Technology (NASDAQ: RVBD), the leader in application
performance infrastructure, today announced Wright-Pierce is using
Riverbed® SteelStoreTM (formerly Riverbed Whitewater) to reduce the
cost of storing large volumes of data, to streamline backup and to
accelerate recovery. For Wright-Pierce, the combination of the
SteelStore cloud storage gateway appliance with Amazon Simple
Storage Service (S3) is a much better approach to storing its
ever-increasing amount of CAD, GIS and other engineering data
compared to previous on-premises tape and disk-to-disk systems.
Using SteelStore, Write-Pierce can take advantage of the cloud
price wars and now pays just hundreds of dollars per month to store
10 terabytes of data.

Wright-Pierce is an award-winning engineering firm specializing
in water, wastewater and infrastructure services for public and
private clients. The firm is employee-owned with 200 engineers and
support professionals located in seven offices. Wright-Pierce
has been actively growing its business beyond the Company’s Maine
headquarters southward to service the entire Northeast, increasing
the amount of data that must be backed up and stored. Initially,
the firm moved from tape backup to a disk-to-disk approach, but it
was hard to control costs as the system had to keep expanding to
handle growing amounts of data.
Ray Sirois, director of IT at Wright-Pierce, realized that cloud
data storage offered a less expensive and elastic alternative to
tape and disk-to-disk backup. As a long-time Riverbed customer,
with Riverbed SteelHead® appliances playing a key role in its
expansion, Sirois was aware of the value Riverbed SteelStore
technology could add to a cloud storage strategy: immediate data
recovery for backup and archiving applications; data encryption in
flight to the cloud and at rest with SSL v3; and 256-bit AES
encryption and deduplication functionality to moderate the cost of
cloud storage by shrinking the amount of data sent there. With a
transition to SteelStore and cloud data storage (in Amazon S3), the
firm would deal with less backup hardware and be able to ensure a
higher level of data security.
“We have a long history with Riverbed, and we’re very happy with
Riverbed,” said Sirois. “Riverbed provides enabling technologies
for us and has been a big part of our success over the last 10
years. Now, we have one small device in the rack compared to the
four disk-to-disk devices we had before, and we’ve eliminated the
need to add more. Storing data in the cloud means we don’t have to
buy expensive equipment to keep up with our company’s growth, but
we also don’t have to worry about buying too little and then having
to go back and asking for money again. Another benefit of storing
data in the cloud is a higher level of security than what you can
provide at your own facilities.”
Wright-Pierce is benefitting from Amazon’s recent price
reduction (from 7.5 cents/gigabyte/month to 3 cents/gigabyte/month)
to store 10 terabytes of data. No longer maintaining the tape and
disk-to-disk backup systems is saving the company money, as is the
fact that they can now retire a network attached storage (NAS)
device and use some terabytes on the SteelStore appliance to house
project archives. The SteelStore appliance consumes 80% less power
than the four disk-to-disk devices. And, because it requires less
rack space, the cooling requirement is lower as well.
