Accelerate 2007 San Francisco: The Riverbed WDS Performance Summit.

The Premier Wide-Area Data Services Event for Accelerating the Shrinking, Faster, More Connected World

SAN FRANCISCO -- Riverbed Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:RVBD), the technology and market leader in wide-area data services (WDS), announced today that it will be hosting its annual customer and partner summit from October 24-26, 2007 at the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco, California. Riverbed technical experts and customers, as well as partners, including Network Appliance and VMware, will present at the conference. With over 3,000 customers, Riverbed hosts the premier customer event in the WDS industry.

At Accelerate 2007, attendees will learn how Riverbed and its customers use Steelhead[R] products to transform IT infrastructure and accelerate the performance and productivity of mobile workers and remote offices, while enabling best practices in IT consolidation and disaster recovery. The Accelerate Performance Summit creates an atmosphere where participants share WDS best practices and be inspired by keynote speakers like bestselling author Vince Poscente and Riverbed CEO Jerry Kennelly. Participants will receive in-depth technical information from Riverbed's experts, including Chief Scientist Mark Day, and learn how Riverbed customers have implemented Steelhead products to have a profound effect on their business performance.

Riverbed is the pioneer and worldwide leader in WDS, with over 2,500 global customers. The company's products are the first comprehensive solution for the mobile worker, remote office and data center that solve a host of performance problems that prevent enterprises from effectively sharing applications and data among offices and employees located outside of headquarters.

Riverbed's award-winning Steelhead WDS products address all of the issues that affect application performance over the WAN, improving the throughput of applications enterprises rely on every day - including file sharing, email, backup, document management systems, and IT tools, as well as ERP and CRM solutions. Riverbed can make any of these applications run five, 50, or even 100 times faster. With the addition of Steelhead Mobile in July 2007, the company can now deliver LAN-like performance for mobile workers and very small offices.
