Riverbed has introduced its new Riverbed Data Express Service enabling accelerated movement of datasets now required to prepare and deploy AI models at scale—reaching data transfer speeds up to 10 times faster than current industry solutions. Moving this data to AI-optimized GPU clusters often takes months, delaying time-to-value and increasing costs. With the new Riverbed Data Express Service, what once took months can now be completed in days.
Built on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), Riverbed’s Data Express Service utilises post-quantum cryptography (PQC) to move petabyte-scale datasets through secure VPN tunnels to ensure that customer data remains protected during the transfer process. The service includes enterprise-grade controls for secure access to data as well as the option to deploy data mover agents in customer tenants to enable additional security controls.
“With today’s announcement of the Riverbed Data Express Service, we will be helping customers overcome one of the biggest barriers to AI adoption—getting the right data to the right location, with industry-leading speed and security,” said Dave Donatelli, CEO of Riverbed. “In the first half of this year, we experienced strong demand in our overall business, achieving 77% year-over-year bookings growth. With our new Data Express Service announced today, and with more services planned in the future, we will continue to build on our momentum, helping customers maximise the return on their AI investment.”
The Riverbed Data Express Service is planned for general availability in Q4 of 2025.
