Jerry Kennelly, chairman and CEO of Riverbed, said: “2009 was a year of significant achievement for Riverbed characterised by market share gains every reported quarter. We executed well in a difficult economy, achieving strong revenue and profit growth while still advancing our technology. For the full year, both non-GAAP revenue and earnings per share increased 19%.
“Sales momentum continued in the fourth quarter driven by growth in enterprise sales across all major geographies. Product revenue increased 12% sequentially and 15% year-over-year. In addition to providing a solid return on investment, WAN optimisation was recognised as a critical enabler to the success of a variety of important IT projects including virtualisation and consolidation, firmly establishing WAN optimisation as a top priority item on IT spending surveys.”
