Medi-Clinic Southern Africa

Healthcare company deployed Riverbed to achieve a 5x improvement in file download speeds.

In Brief

  • Avoided a costly upgrade estimated at $663,000 per year
  • Achieved 3x reduction in bandwidth utilization
  • Experienced 5x improvement in file download speeds
  • Recovered capital investment in 11 months


Medi-Clinic had adopted a private cloud strategy as a result of increased business growth and the requirement to manage a growing number of applications. However, productivity began to suffer as employees struggled to access critical files and applications over the WAN due to slow application download speeds. 

Following a successful trial, Medi-Clinic Southern Africa installed Riverbed® Steelhead® appliances across all of its hospitals and main sites, and is managing the appliances with the Central Management Console (CMC). Employees can now access data in a matter of seconds, thus improving employee productivity. Medi-Clinic Southern Africa also avoided further bandwidth upgrades and achieved an ROI in just 11 months.
