Riverbed Steelhead, installed between server and branch office, accelerates application performance and data transfer over the WAN.
Steelhead overcomes bandwidth and geographical challenges to boost productivity and encourage global collaboration. Riverbed’s wide-area data services (WDS) solutions enable IT to strategically centralize and reduce operational overhead and expense, while improving end-user satisfaction.
Steelhead enhances infrastructure consolidation and centralized processing.
Consolidate file, email and application servers as well as storage from remote branches to cut costs and operational complexity without sacrificing performance.
Steelhead halts “bandwidth creep.”
Companies that have deployed Riverbed’s Steelhead products typically reduce bandwidth utilization by 60% to 95%, often allowing them to defer costly bandwidth upgrades.
Steelhead streamlines data backup and supplements disaster prevention and recovery.
With Riverbed’s DR acceleration module, organizations can replicate and backup data to remote sites faster, often reducing transfer windows from hours to minutes. Companies can further enhance their data protection strategy by eliminating remote backup infrastructure to greatly reduce the risk of data loss through lost tapes or media.
Steelhead simplifies compliance with privacy and security regulations.
Riverbed can optimize SSL traffic without compromising the end-to-end trust model. Companies subject to compliance regulations like SOX, HIPAA, PCI or other security requirements can deliver both performance and security for their applications.
Steelhead delivers applications to the mobile workforce as if local.
Mobile workers often receive sub-optimal application performance when they connect to resources from remote locations. With Steelhead Mobile, IT can deliver local performance to remote workers wherever they connect.
