Stingray

Business Problem: Your customers expectations for application performance continue to increase. Whether it’s a consumer shopping online or an employee accessing an enterprise application, speed of completing a transaction can be related quite easily to revenue or productivity. If an application takes too long to respond, then a website will be less sticky, customers click less often, and are less likely to return for more business. In addition, most enterprises want to take advantage of virtualization and cloud (public, private or hybrid), but it is very difficult to make the jump directly to a cloud business model, because existing infrastructure can’t just be thrown out, and compliance requirements can restrict use of external providers. The network and applications are becoming more intricately woven together – applications need to know more about the user, device type, and network characteristics, and specific parts of applications need to be protected and prioritized above others (e.g. checkout processes). Application developers and operators are seeking new tools that give them the visibility, control, and performance that they need.

Business Solution: Riverbed Stingray enables your customer enterprises to deliver fast, secure and available applications across any combination of physical, virtual and cloud infrastructures with a single point of application delivery control and monitoring across all locations. With Riverbed Stingray, enterprises can also unlock the promise of cloud – auto scaling applications on-demand, balancing across multiple clouds, while leveraging existing investments by seamlessly delivering applications that span both infrastructures. Ultimately, this allows costs alignment, with the ability to scale infrastructure costs to meet demand in real time – without compromising the experience at peak times.

Steelhead Appliances

Business Problem: Accelerating applications while reducing bandwidth requirements.

Business Solution: Riverbed's Steelhead Appliances provide the highest level of WAN performance across the broadest range of applications.

Steelhead appliances come in a range of sizes to ensure that each of your offices has a properly sized acceleration appliance. Plus, with their upgradeable licensing capability, you customers don’t need to oversize a box for their remote offices and can ensure that they still have room to grow while protecting their WAN optimization investment.

Business Problem: Meeting the challenge of effectively delivering applications to distributed users as infrastructures become more complex and being able to monitor the performance of critical applications, and gain actionable information to optimize application delivery.

Riverbed's network and application analysis and reporting solution spans WAN and telecommunications, network engineering, application monitoring, and data center operations groups to provide enterprise-wide application performance analysis, data on server and application dependencies, and the tools for IT managers to immediately determine their bottlenecks for the delivery of applications across their infrastructure.
