The typical enterprise today is hybrid, doing business with a combination of on-premises, SaaS, and cloud-based applications and infrastructure. As more and more SaaS applications are introduced into the enterprise, IT must deliver them with the best balance of both cost and performance to support business objectives. While hybrid architectures and SaaS applications help organizations lower costs and reduce time to market, they also create management challenges for CIOs and IT teams as they attempt to deliver an optimal and consistent end-user experience. In the cloud era, however, overcoming latency, controlling network paths for performance, managing bandwidth and infrastructure costs, ensuring quality of service (QoS), and having network visibility have become increasingly difficult because there are even more applications with even more network connections that no longer fall within IT’s realm of control.
As the industry’s leading WAN optimization solution, Riverbed SteelHead helps organizations address the challenges of the cloud by enhancing visibility, optimization, and control of today’s hybrid WANs to maximize application performance and employee productivity while minimizing costs and complexity. The latest updates allow IT to deliver the best end-user experience for all applications with secure optimization across all networks, including the public Internet.
“Cloud computing can have a stormy side and it’s application performance. As the leader in application performance for over 10 years, Riverbed navigates a clear path through that potential storm. SteelHead 9.1 offers the most complete solution to ensure all applications – whether running on-premises or in the cloud – perform as the business requires,” said Paul O’Farrell, Senior Vice President and General Manager, SteelHead and SteelFusion Product Groups at Riverbed. “Application performance can now align with business performance and SteelHead 9.1 brings even more security and flexibility so IT can take full advantage of the cloud and the public Internet like never before.”
