Riverbed/Akamai/Rakamai

As long as we're talking about cloud networks, Akamai and Riverbed
have finally let out details on their partnership for "optimizing"
Cloud applications:

While I'm familiar with Akamai (what they do and how they do it) I
don't have any experience with Riverbed.

Does anyone know what they actually "do" and how they do it?  As usual
it's tough to cut through the marketing on the little detail they make
available (never a good sign).
