Steelhead appliances
|
Riverbed's Steelhead appliances provide the highest level of WAN performance across the broadest range of applications. Available in a wide range of sizes – all powered by the Riverbed Optimization System (RiOS) – Steelhead appliances are also the most scalable approach to application acceleration across your WAN.
Steelhead appliances come in a range of sizes to ensure that each of your offices has a properly sized acceleration appliance. With this range of sizes, you can simultaneously ensure that the appliance provides room for office growth, yet still ensures that you achieve a quick return on investment.
Our Steelhead 100 is meant for offices with just a few people; our 6000-series appliances can meet the needs of offices with many thousands of users.
