Riverbed provides the first and only comprehensive WDS solution to a host of severe problems that have effectively prevented enterprises from sharing applications and data across wide areas. By wide area, we mean anywhere in the world. Between Chicago and New York. Or between Seattle and Shanghai.
Riverbed's award-winning Steelhead WDS appliancesaddress all of the issues that affect application performance over the WAN, dramatically improving the performance of applications that companies and knowledge workers rely on every day - including file sharing, email, backup, document management systems, IT tools, as well as ERP and CRM solutions. With Riverbed, any of these applications can be accelerated somewhere between 5 and 50, and even up to 100 times faster.
In very simple terms, the impact for companies is the difference between having dial-up and having broadband. Suddenly, the impossible becomes possible, just like that.
- Poor application performance
- Insufficient, expensive or congested network bandwidth into remote offices
- Difficulties in IT consolidation
- Challenges with slow remote data backup and replication
- Increasing demands of the mobile workforce
Unlike point products that improve one part of the wide area performance problem - like data compression, QoS, or TCP optimization - WDS is a comprehensive solution to application performance problems.
Riverbed's market-leading WDS solutions address all of the issues that affect application performance over the WAN, improving the throughput of applications enterprises rely on every day - including file sharing, email, backup, SSL, document management systems, and IT tools, as well as ERP and CRM solutions.
Wide-area Data ServicesWDS encompasses several different product categories. Whether an organization is seeking to make the most of its existing investment in WAN bandwidth by reducing traffic, or aims to accelerate the performance of its global applications by addressing latency and chatty protocols, the optimal solution addresses all aspects of the problem at once.
WDS is the superset of several existing categories:
- Application acceleration
- WAN optimization
- Wide area file services (WAFS)
- QoS and traffic shaping
- Web caching
Unlike these individual approaches that only address a single cause of poor application performance acrossthe WAN, a complete WDS solution enables the benefits of all of these approaches within a single, unified architecture.
Using WDS, enterprises can improve application performance across the network typically by 5 to 50 times and in some cases up to 100 times, and can simultaneously reduce WAN bandwidth utilization by 65 to 95%. These dramatic results allow businesses to take advantage of their networks, infrastructure, and applications in ways that they had never imagined possible.
An Integrated Approach to Improving Application Performance
WDS solutions accelerate applications by taking an integrated approach to application performance across the WAN. While some approaches solely focus on network optimization, or just concentrate on acceleration for a specific application, WDS combines an application-independent foundation that improves the performance of all applications running over TCP, with an application-specific set of modules that address chatty application protocols.
This combination enables WDS solutions to accelerate the applications that enterprises care the most about, and provides the ability to easily add more functionality over time. WDS products are architected to scale all the way from the largest data centers with clustered appliances down to software on a single user's laptop (or desktop). For more technical details on Riverbed's implementation of WDS, read about the Riverbed Optimization System (RiOS).
Improving application performance has tangible, meaningful benefits for organizations of all sizes. Enterprises use WDS to meet the following needs: Riverbed in Action

Steelhead Mobile
|
Steelhead Mobile works by interacting directly with any Steelhead appliance to optimize applications the same way in which two Steelhead devices would work together. At least one Steelhead Mobile Controller (SMC) is required to manage Steelhead Mobile licensing.
With Steelhead Mobile enterprises can give mobile workers LAN-like access to corporate files and applications no matter where they are, anywhere in the world. With a simple software package installed transparently on their laptops or desktops, all of the powerful benefits of RiOS are available to the end-user. For end-users, applications and collaboration work exactly the same - simply much faster. No changes are required to applications or the normal processes that workers are used to. IT managers do not need to make any changes to servers, routers, VPN infrastructure, or any of the other key technology in their enterprise. In fact, IT managers can control whether or not end-users see anything at all (like the Steelhead Mobile system tray icon), or if they want Steelhead Mobile to be completely invisible to the end-users.
Software is pushed out to end-user machines via MSI packages. Using the Steelhead Mobile Controller (SMC), IT administrators control the installation process as well as the configuration policies that determine what optimizations take place per user or groups of users.
With Steelhead Mobile, mobile workers can be more productive than they ever imagined would be possible.
Steelhead Mobile provides simple configuration controls through the software client interface and can be managed remotely from the SMC as well.
