Riverbed® Steelhead® Appliances Accelerate Applications Around the Globe for Fortune 500 Firm

Rohm + Haas

“Network latency was just killing some of our WAN applications,” noted John Yeaton, a network engineer with the Network Planning Department. He went on to describe the issues they were encountering. “We have two data centers, primary and backup. We have over 200 locations globally, so a large percentage of our users are accessing our applications remotely over the WAN. People trying to use our applications from Shanghai were experiencing up to 300 milliseconds latency. This was slowing our imaging and other large traffic files to a crawl. Chatty traffic was also significantly impacted. The high latency had slowed some of the applications down to a point where it was difficult for people to use them at all.”

Challenges

  • Overcome latency problems impacting the global deployment of applications
  • Provide IT services to distributed offices from centralized data centers
  • Accelerate collaborative imaging and ERP applications over the wide area network
  • Select a solution that integrated quickly and easily into existing infrastructure

Solution

  • Steelhead appliances deployed in 25 offices

Benefits

  • Application performance significantly improved, making applications LAN-like around the world.
  • Achieved server consolidation for several applications in a globally distributed environment
  • WAN-based backup for remote sites reduced from several hours to 15 minutes
  • Ease of deployment and network integration make installation and management simple and time efficient
