Naizak to launch Riverbed's software-based Steelhead Mobile WAN Optimization at GITEX 2007

Naizak, Saudi Arabia's largest supplier of ICT instrumentation and equipment, will participate at GITEX Technology Week which will be held from 8-12 September at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre. Naizak will showcase its products under the umbrella of Dubai Internet City, the largest managed ICT free zone in the world.

The application to be launched by Naizak will enable professionally mobile employees to access applications from wherever they choose to work. It is typically designed for the professionals to resolve application performance issues such as insufficient, expensive and congested network bandwidth into remote offices, slow remote data backup and IT consolidation difficulties.

The installation of Riverbed's Mobile Steelhead Solutions improves the output of applications which, on a daily basis, businesses rely on. This includes file-sharing, email, back-up, document management systems and IT tools. The new software is intended to deliver wireless connectivity that operates at a speedy rate, dramatically reducing downloading time and making connectivity more accessible to any employee, whether on the road, working from home or at the office.

Rami Abu Zaid, Corporate Telecommunications Manager, Naizak Global Engineering Systems, said: "Businesses are increasingly aware that IT is increasingly challenged for providing efficiency and security improvements along with driving revenue and sales. Thus, they recognize the need to carefully evaluate their choice of products in order to meet their business objectives.

"Riverbed's Mobile Steelhead Solutions meet these challenges while achieving optimal performance for users which is based on real-time network conditions. This also gives a reasonable return-on-investment due to reduction in bandwidths and capital costs."

As one of the first comprehensive WAN application technologies, Mobile Steelhead Solutions improves WAN performance, meeting the demands of businesses that are looking to extend the benefits of the (Local Area Network) LAN to all application users in spite of their location.

Riverbed Technologies' global presence makes up more than 1,000 business partners many of which belong to the Fortune 500.

Naizak's participation at GITEX Technology Week will highlight its high-quality applications and services for various specialized industries including shipping, information management, e-learning, networking and telecommunications. It is the official distributor of Riverbed Technologies in the Middle-East and Africa (MEA), representing global brands such as Fujitsu-Siemens Computers and Hitachi Data Systems.
