Microsoft SharePoint allows users from around the globe to share documents and information in a collaborative environment. Although SharePoint provides a rich suite of team productivity tools, it often requires a centralized store for all business documents. As a result, users working remotely or on the road must access the portal over a wide area network (WAN) and often suffer suboptimal performance.

Riverbed significantly optimizes Microsoft SharePoint Services to deliver LAN-like performance for remote offices by simultaneously addressing bandwidth constraints and the combined effects of latency and protocol inefficiencies. With the Riverbed Optimization System (RiOS), distributed SharePoint servers and complex replication models are no longer necessary for accelerated performance at any office, anywhere in the world.
More specifically, because SharePoint leverages HTTP as a web-based portal, RiOS provides even more acceleration for portal applications through several different HTTP optimizations. Riverbed also accelerates SSL traffic, so organizations who run SharePoint via HTTPS can still achieve LAN-like performance without compromising their security.
