Riverbed helped human rights agency IJM improve network throughput without increasing costs.
Riverbed WAN optimization delivered an affordable and easy-to-deploy solution that has “exceeded expectations.”
Hydro-Québec wanted to practice concurrent engineering but wasn’t able to make it work due to the long distances between its headquarters and partners’ offices throughout the province. The problem: transferring CATIA and SmarTeam data over a WAN was too slow to permit realtime collaboration. Even day-to-day use of CATIA at the remote sites was agonizingly slow. Some possible work-arounds were too expensive (dedicated CATIA servers at each site) or didn’t work satisfactorily (remote desktop/thin client). Riverbed WAN optimization delivered an affordable and easy-to-deploy solution that has “exceeded expectations.” With 15 Steelhead appliances now installed around Québec, CATIA response time at remote sites is similar to that in the Montreal headquarters where the software is housed. Very large CATIA digital mock-up files now transfer fast enough to permit concurrent engineering. The Riverbed solution cost about half what the company might have spent on other approaches, and consolidation has accounted for $1.5 million in avoided costs as well.
