Riverbed Office in Dubai

Riverbed Technology, Inc. has opened offices in the Middle East. The new office, located at the Business Central Towers in Dubai, will support the local Riverbed team and will be managed by Dr Mohammed Anwar Karzazi, regional sales director for Middle East and Africa.

"The Middle Eastern region is characterized by a growing number of distributed organizations," said Karzazi. "The new Dubai office will allow Riverbed to respond to the wide area network (WAN) application performance requirements of those organizations."

"We are committed to a strong market presence in the Middle East," said Marcus Chambers, vice president of EMEA at Riverbed. "The new office in Dubai is intended to enable us to build on existing partner and customer relationships and at the same time develop new ones."

The Riverbed expansion of its operations into the Gulf and Middle Eastern region is driven by the recognition by distributed organizations of the importance of optimizing their WAN performance for IT consolidation, backup and disaster recovery, and application acceleration.
