Cloud Products
Whitewater Appliance
The Whitewater appliance, introduced in November 2010, is designed to optimize backup data as it is sent from a backup application (e.g. Symantec NetBackup or Backup Exec) into a public storage cloud. The 1.0 release works with Amazon AWS; later releases will support other cloud providers. Whitewater is a single-ended appliance; data is deduplicated, compressed, and encrypted with AES-256 on the Whitewater appliance and then sent across the WAN to the storage cloud provider for long-term storage in that form.
Cloud Steelhead
The Cloud Steelhead appliance, also introduced in November 2010, provides WAN optimization for traffic going between users or an enterprise data center and a public cloud. Currently Amazon Web Services’ Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) and Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) environments.

Famous quotes containing the words cloud and/or products:
“Humorists are always pessimists. They’re reactionaries: because they see that every golden cloud has a black lining.”
—Christina Stead (1902–1983)
“All that is told of the sea has a fabulous sound to an inhabitant of the land, and all its products have a certain fabulous quality, as if they belonged to another planet, from seaweed to a sailor’s yarn, or a fish story. In this element the animal and vegetable kingdoms meet and are strangely mingled.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
