Defer costly network bandwidth upgrades
Utilizing the Riverbed Optimization System (RiOS®) with advanced data reduction processes, you can typically reduce bandwidth 60 to 95%. It is so effective for many organizations it eliminates the need for costly bandwidth upgrades.
Unrivaled scalability
A universal data store provides unrivaled scalability and reduces WAN optimization storage requirements. By avoiding per-peer storage limitations, companies can easily scale to hundreds of sites with any-to-any connectivity. The Steelhead CX series appliances support massive throughput volume and millions of concurrent connections.
Plays friendly with existing infrastructure
Since Steelhead CX appliances integrate with many network environments and topologies, they can deploy in minutes without changes to applications, users, routers, or other IT infrastructure.

For maximum optimization deploy Steelhead CX appliances everywhere in your network.
Your business moves faster when your applications do
Not just a little faster, up to 100 faster
After a quick installation, you will immediately witness dramatic performance increases across the WAN for all TCP and UDP applications, by up to 100 times.
Enables IT infrastructure consolidation and virtualization
Thanks to reduced bandwidth requirements and response times, end-user performance increases, allowing IT to cut costs and operational complexity through data center consolidation and virtualization — without sacrificing performance.
Improved data protection efforts
A faster WAN means you can eliminate remote backup infrastructure. Even at the highest levels, replication across data centers can improve up to 10 times and more, all while reducing the cost and complexity of your WAN infrastructure.
