SAP Acceleration

The SAP Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) applications provide world-class planning and business integration capabilities for operations, financials, product development, human capital management, and corporate services. The application suites provide a range of streamlined integration and automation for operations such as procurement, logistics, and product development to financial transaction processing and reporting functions.

Deploying Riverbed into SAP environments can yield a two- to 10-fold improvement in application response times. As more SAP environments leverage a web service or SOA foundation through SAP NetWeaver, Riverbed can provide significant benefits for XML, HTTP, and HTTPS traffic. Riverbed has also received SAP Certified Integration status for RiOS. SAP brought Steelhead appliances into their Co-Innovation Lab (COIL) and specifically tested Riverbed's technology for interoperability.

SAP NetWeaver Acceleration

SAP NetWeaver is a web-based, open integration and application platform that organizations can use to align information and business processes across the enterprise. It serves as the foundation for enterprise service-oriented architecture (SOA) and utilizes open standards to enable information integration from almost any source. While the solution provides a robust platform for aligning IT infrastructure with business objectives, globally distributed environments may experience slow performance over the WAN.

Steelhead appliances have received SAP-certified integration and can help accelerate SAP NetWeaver applications running over the WAN. For forward-looking companies that are seeking to adopt SOA, Riverbed can help organizations achieve global scalability, while significantly slashing the time required to perform SAP operations.
