Riverbed Steelhead WAN Accelerator

Steelhead appliances enable wide-area data services (WDS) for enterprises of all sizes. These appliances make it easy for organizations to accelerate the applications that are most important to their users, anywhere in the world. Steelhead appliances are available in a range of sizes to meet the needs of any remote office – from small sales offices with just a few people, to major design centers and corporate facilities with thousands of employees.

Every Steelhead appliance comes with the full power of the Riverbed Optimization System (RiOS):

• Data Streamlining optimizes all WAN traffic by removing all redundant data and prioritizing traffic through advanced QoS mechanisms
• Transport Streamlining improves the behavior of TCP
• Application Streamlining reduces application protocol inefficiencies and enables disconnected operations
• Management Streamlining simplifies the deployment, maintenance, and management of the appliances.

By deploying Steelhead appliances, enterprises see from 5 to 50 times, and in some cases up to 100 times faster application performance, as well as reduced bandwidth utilization. They can ensure faster applications, successful consolidation of distributed IT infrastructure, and enable faster network-based backup. All Steelhead appliances optimize traffic in both directions, transparent to your applications, and require no reconfiguration to client and server software.
