Riverbed Steelhead Acceleration Appliances ®

Riverbed Steelhead

Riverbed solves remote office application performance and file-sharing problems for companies around the world, across a broad range of sectors – including financial, manufacturing, and retail. Riverbed is the only company that delivers a complete solution to wide area networking problems, by addressing all the key factors that slow application performance over WANs: high latency, limited bandwidth, and “chatty” transport and application protocols. Riverbed Steelhead™ appliances deliver LAN-like performance over wide area networks (WANs), enabling geographically dispersed teams to run applications off central servers and share large documents as if they were all working in the same office.


Steelhead

With Steelhead appliances:

  • Applications run up to 100 times faster. The acceleration of Exchange, Windows, FTP, HTTP, Notes, MS SQL and other key enterprise applications used on WANs dramatically improves collaboration, file sharing and productivity.
  • Redundant WAN traffic is eliminated, reducing bandwidth utilization by 60% to 95% on average. This enables network managers to delay or avoid WAN bandwidth upgrades, or even de-provision their current bandwidth.
  • IT architects have the freedom to consolidate file servers, email servers, NAS and tape libraries from remote offices to data centers – without degrading performance. Successful site consolidation can save millions in IT operating expenses.
  • Organizations can quickly and securely back up and replicate data across the WAN from systems that are hundreds, or even thousands of miles from the data center. This is possible due to throughputs ranging between 500-700 Mbps, even on inter-continental links where round-trip latencies are well over several hundred milliseconds.
