SteelHead Evolution

The applications and requirements that existed when SteelHead customers first chose Riverbed for WAN Optimization have evolved. Here’s why you should upgrade today.
Your organization is now a digital enterprise with multi-cloud environments, hybrid networks, and many Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), cloud and on-premise apps.
You have an increasingly mobile workforce. Speed, consistency, and availability of apps are critical for business success.
Traditional networking approaches make it complex to manage, protect and optimize these apps. Riverbed makes things simple.
SteelHead features have expanded well beyond bandwidth inefficiency and multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) network performance – even if you’re moving to SD-WAN. Check out how our latest offerings can benefit and meet your organization’s specific IT requirements.

Bajaj Electricals Inc. leveraged the Riverbed platform for its digital transformation initiative. They improved the performance of Office 365 by up to 70% as the business migrated to the cloud.

The simple comparison is: SteelHead CX 5080/7080 appliances offer up to twice the WAN-optimized throughput and twice the optimized connections. Most of the specs are 20%-60% higher with several higher exceptions to better align with our recently introduced GX 10000 (GXA-10000) with its price per connection/bandwidth and our virtualized offerings.

Do you want to be proactive and fix performance issues that are slowing down your users? You need to be able to measure network and application performance. No news doesn't mean good news, and even if you haven't received complaints, performance could be affecting user productivity and causing a business slowdown. Our solutions will enable you to spot and fix issues proactively, even before your users are aware of any slowdown or performance.

Are you looking to reduce your operational costs while improving your workforce productivity? Our solutions will help you reduce these costs because they enable your workforce to work productively from anywhere. This will support your goal of lowering your operational expenditures. For example, it's reasonable to expect that our application acceleration solution can save a 2,500-employee company about 1,800 person-hours every year.
