Make every dollar count: In an uncertain economic climate, this edict has challenged IT leaders to implement projects that increase business performance and security. Mobility, consolidation, virtualization, and disaster recovery are all fighting for resources at a time when they have never been more critical.

Increasingly, organizations have relied upon software and appliance WAN optimization solutions to take projects from spec to production cost-effectively, but with budget consideration as significant as project objectives, which product is the best fit for your firm: software or appliance?

Riverbed Technology is excited to bring the battle between hardware and software WAN optimization products from your IT planning meeting to the Web, as it pits Steelhead Appliance Sr. Product Marketing Manager Nik Rouda against Steelhead Mobile Software Product Marketing Manager Joe Ghory in a faceoff to resolve--once and for all--which solution is best

This Webcast Battle Royale will be settled in three rounds:

Round 1: How does your WAN optimization solution enhance major IT projects like consolidation, virtualization, mobility, and disaster recovery?

Round 2: Fact or Fiction: All WAN optimization products are not created equally. If it’s a fact, what distinguishes yours?

Round 3: Head to Head: Steelhead Mobile vs Steelhead Appliance

We look forward to an informative session and to crowning the first ever WAN Optimization Champion of the World!
