3. Petrobras Background Results Key benefits from deploying Riverbed
Brazilian energy company; operations in 27 countries
Performance problems caused by network and application latency – bandwidth alone would not solve the issues
Backing up data from remote sites took more than 24 hrs
Results
Deployed 43 Steelhead appliances to improve communication between 40 offshore oil-drilling platforms and the continent
Riverbed CMC deployed for configuration, upgrade and monitoring of appliances. 
WAN traffic reduced by 65%, freeing bandwidth
Backup for offshore oil-drilling platforms reduced to 4 hrs avg.
Key benefits from deploying Riverbed
Workers on oil platforms get same application performance as those at headquarters
Improved both productivity and job satisfaction
Eliminated need for investing in expensive infrastructure, such as optical fiber undersea connecting offshore data to continent systems 
“With WAN optimization, we knew the speed gain would be at least 40%, at a lower cost and with simpler modifications in the ITC infrastructure.”
Carlos Alberto Lage Land coordinator of ITC for the Campos Basin
