Steelhead Family Overview
WAN Optimization - The Industry's Undisputed LeaderThere are three major technologies that have changed the way we do business: email, the web, and WAN optimization from Riverbed." — Bruce Bartolf, CTO, Gensler Architecture Worldwide
A wide area network (WAN) is the foundation of a globally connected enterprise, enabling collaboration, communication, business productivity, and risk mitigation. The performance of the WAN is critical to everything organizations do. With Riverbed® WAN optimization solutions, businesses run faster and more efficiently, while delivering consistent service levels and cutting the costs of their IT infrastructure.
The Riverbed® WAN optimization solution can change the way businesses work by improving and accelerating application performance across the WAN while significantly reducing the amount of traffic on the network. Using WAN optimization, IT can provide LAN-like access to data and applications throughout the enterprise — anytime, anywhere. It’s the only solution to span mobile workers, branch offices, data centers, and clouds, allowing a distributed workforce to collaborate in real-time. And it does all this while streamlining operations, improving visibility, and reducing the costs of IT infrastructure.
- Improve the performance of many of the most commonly used applications across the network, typically by 5-50 times and, in some cases, by up to 100 times.
- Ensure fast, reliable access to data and applications for employees around the globe. Achieve LAN-like performance for mobile employees, no matter where they are.
- Reduce the use of WAN bandwidth by 65-95 percent, and relieve network congestion.
- Cut server costs and routine IT maintenance. Consolidate servers into data centers more effectively and enable virtualization, without impacting performance.
- Push out costly network upgrades by two years or more.
- Provide optimization anywhere with a solution designed to improve performance for a private cloud as well as Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and Software as a Service (SaaS) Public Clouds.
