Riverbed WAN Optimizer - Epicor 9

Robert,
We have 5 remote sites and all use RiverBed to accelerate WAN traffic.
We purchased RVBD specifically for Epicor and are very pleased with the product.
In addition to the site-to-site data reduction we use the RVBD mobile device on our remote user laptops for additional acceleration
Our site-to-site MPLS is a T1 and performance is good – we only use terminal server for our MES stations on the floor and all users run the native/local client
If you need any additional information, let me know

Joe,

My name is Robert Nupp and I am the IT Manager for Laclede Chain in St. Louis, MO. We have 3 remote facilities in addition to our headquarters office in St. Louis and all of our remote sites connect into Epicor 9 through terminal servers located at our main site. Since our recent upgrade to Epicor 9 we are beginning to have issues with system speed at our remote locations and I have looked into many options on increasing speed.

Each of our sites has a T1 line coming into the location and all our connected with Cisco ASA products for VPN. One of our sites is in a very small and remote location and because of this doing MPLS or increasing the bandwidth for that site is not really a feasible option for us. A few months ago I started looking at WAN Optimization, specifically the Silver-Peak and Riverbed products. I was looking for someone who is currently using either of these products in their environment and is also using Epicor for their ERP system. I came across your contact on the Yahoo User's group for Vantage and wondered if you would mind a quick phone call just to see how well Riverbed works for you in your environment.

I am really looking at the possibilities of using a WAN client instead of using RDP at our remote sites and seeing if this is possible with the Riverbed products.

Any time you can spare would be appreciated.

Thank you for your time.
