The world is changing. Business no longer just happens at headquarters.
Customers are all over the state, all over the country, and all over the world. Companies often have remote offices, and they almost always have mobile workers. With this new distributed workforce, the IT challenge of maximizing workforce and business performance has become even more complex. Today, IT is forced to either support a massive, distributed IT infrastructure, or just let employees suffer with poor performance across the widearea network.

Riverbed solves this tug–of–war between application performance problems and IT consolidation for companies around the world, across a broad range of sectors including Financial Services, Manufacturing, Government and Energy. Riverbed is the only company that delivers a complete solution for wide–area data services (WDS) by addressing all the key factors that slow application performance over WANs: network, application, and storage limitations. Only Riverbed allows companies to connect their data centers, remote offices, and mobile workers with LAN–like speed.

Riverbed Steelhead™ appliances deliver LAN–like performance for applications over wide–area networks, allowing geographically dispersed teams to share documents and data as if they were all working in the same office, while allowing the effective consolidation and protection of IT infrastructure and data. Riverbed Steelhead Mobile software accomplishes the same goals for mobile workers who need the same wind–in–your hair performance from their laptop computers wherever they are.

Applications run up to 100 times faster. The acceleration of Exchange, Windows, FTP, HTTP, Web applications, Lotus Notes, MS SQL, and other key business applications used dramatically speeds up collaboration and productivity for organizations of all sizes. From the global enterprise to the smallest of startups with just one office.

IT architects have the freedom to consolidate file servers, email servers, network–attached storage and tape libraries from remote offices to data centers without degrading performance. Successful site consolidation can save millions in IT operating expenses.
