Overview
The Riverbed product family includes Riverbed Steelhead appliances and Riverbed’s Steelhead Mobile software. Both solutions enable wide-area data services (WDS) for organisations of all sizes. These products make it easy for organisations to accelerate the applications that are most important to their users, anywhere in the world.
Deployment of Riverbed Steelhead appliances help to solve the following problems:
>Poor application performance
>Insufficient, expensive or congested network bandwidth into remote offices
>Difficulties in IT consolidation
>Challenges with slow remote data backup and replication
>Increasing demands of the mobile workforce
Steelhead appliances are available in a range of sizes to meet the needs of any remote office — from small sales offices with just a few people, to major design centres and corporate facilities with thousands of employees.
The optional Central Management Console (CMC) appliance, allows organisations to configure and manage many Steelhead appliances simultaneously. The CMC allows group management of devices, dynamic reporting, scheduled operations, over-the-wire software upgrades, and automatic ‘touch less’ setup of new Steelhead appliances in your network.
Benefits
Riverbed's Data Streamlining technologies typically eliminate 60 to 95% of the data that clogs enterprise WAN connections. Transport Streamlining typically eliminates 65 to 98% of the packet roundtrips at the TCP layer.
Application Streamlining removes the same high number of packet roundtrips at the application layer. This combination of massive data reduction and packet roundtrip minimization results in substantially improved application performance; typically five to 50 times and in some cases up to 100 times.
Riverbed addresses the latency issue by removing repetitive traffic elements. These are stored on Riverbed appliances and retrieved by a reference system in the streamlined traffic. This approach reduces corporate WAN traffic by 60% to 95% over time; single transactions can easily see compression ratios of 500:1.
> Cut backup windows by typically 3x or more
> Reduce network utilisation typically by 60 to 95%.
> Accelerate applications over the WAN by 10x, 50x, and up to 100x in some cases
Extend the value of your WAN investment by taking advantage Applicable's deployment and 24x7 support capabilities that can help you further improve performance, consolidation and save time and money.
