Riverbed Steelhead products accelerate application performance and data transfer over the wide area network (WAN), overcoming bandwidth and geographical limitations to improve productivity and enable global collaboration. With Riverbed, file transfers that once took hours or minutes, now take minutes or seconds.

Riverbed Steelhead Appliances (SH Range) and Riverbed Mobile solutions together with Cascade provide the most comprehensive and effective Application Acceleration and analysis of any technology available today.  WAN acceleration (sometimes known as WAFS) can provide many hundreds of times faster response or throughput for remote and mobile users and their applications.

Data transfers can be optimised by reducing latency, delay, duplicated traffic and the impact of chatty protocols such as CIFS.

Larger Riverbed deployments can be managed via the Central Management Controller (CMC)
The product suite has the added benefit, in many situations, of negating the need to expand bandwidth requirements, avoiding significant expense.

Riverbed’s products which feature in the Gartner Magic Quadrant have been proven in some of the most demanding and complex networks in the world, with thousands of customers deploying Steelhead WAN optimisation solutions.
