Solution Portfolio We’ve talked about the importance of application performance in driving business performance, and the challenges of ensuring superior performance is an increasingly hybrid world of IT. We’ll talked about the 3 key capabilities you need to address those challenges. And we’ve introduced the new Riverbed with a quick snapshot. Now let’s dive deeper into the challenges of the hybrid enterprise, and the solutions we offer.

Rethink Branch IT. Think Zero Branch IT.
Enjoys peak local performance and runs from the data center Totally secure, runs flawlessly, and has zero IT Branch No servers, no storage, and no backup required Our platform is a set of capabilities – solutions for the specific challenges of the hybrid enterprise. Let’s start with the branch. Why is the branch in need of a solution? What’s the challenge? Every data center serves, on average, 55 branches. Only 13% of companies are fully consolidated in the data center – and only 8% in the branch. This increases companies’ risk exposure due to outages, obsolescence, and data loss. It also increases costs: organizations spend over $4 billion every year on remote office IT. The right solution would ensure that branches enjoy peak performance while all data stays securely in a well-managed data center. The right solution would ensure zero IT in the branch – no servers, no storage, and no backup required at the branch. Branches can be instantly provisioned, without needing IT talent at the branch. And they can be instantly recovered. The Riverbed Application Performance Platform includes SteelFusion, the only zero IT solution for the branch of the future. Instantly provisioned Instantly recovered

Gain Visibility and Optimization Across the Enterprise
Comprehensive performance monitoring and management Deep packet inspection for application intelligence Deep-dive analytics for troubleshooting Then there’s the challenge of visibility and optimization across the hybrid enterprise. That means across all apps, all networks, and all users. To do this, you need a truly end-to-end operational view of application performance, for any type of application, from the end-user, through the network and infrastructure over which it runs, and deep into the actual application components and code. You need comprehensive performance monitoring across applications, networks, and end-user experiences. You need Deep Packet Inspection for intelligent path selection. You need deep-dive analytics for instant troubleshooting anywhere on the globe. And you need to be able to resolve any performance issue before end users notice. SteelHead and SteelCentral together deliver application intelligence via DPI….seeing exactly what users are doing. Customers can right-click and deep-dive into troubleshooting using SteelCentral’s unique combination of application, network, and end-user monitoring and management. And use SteelHead’s extraordinary QoS/Path Selection capabilities to take action and address performance issues. Accelerated remediation of application performance issues

Realize Cloud Benefits Faster
Coming soon, other apps Accelerate adoption of cloud applications by removing performance-related barriers Then there’s the challenge of managing the transition to a hybrid model … so you can realize the benefits of the cloud faster while also keeping your mission-critical infrastructure running. How can you ensure great end-user experience for cloud-based apps when you’re not running the infrastructure? How can you improve performance of SaaS apps when you’re no longer in control of where they’re hosted or how they’re delivered? How can you manage service providers if you can’t independently monitor delivery on their SLAs? And, overall, how can you integrate your private data centers and MPLS networks with cloud services and public networks for the competitive advantages of greater capabilities for lower costs and less time?
