The Riverbed SteelApp product family is the #1 virtual ADC for scalable, secure and elastic delivery of enterprise, cloud and e-commerce applications. Riverbed revolutionized the ADC market when it introduced the SteelCentral Services Controller for SteelApp, allowing customers to dynamically deploy an "ADC per application" with ADC-as-a-Service. Riverbed's unique approach automates the deployment, licensing and metering of application delivery services. With the "ADC per application" delivery model, isolated resources and costs for ADC-as-a-Service can be allocated to each client application, reducing costs and time to production while supporting rapid change and scale for any application.
"The enterprise is going hybrid - transforming into a mix of workloads hosted on-premises and delivered as services from public clouds, with core applications and data running in private data centers and others running in the public cloud or a combination of both. Basic load-balancing has become a minimum standard for ensuring scalable access to web-based applications; but, more functional ADCs are needed in hybrid environments to optimize applications at a more granular level," said Jeff Pancottine, senior vice president and general manager of Riverbed SteelApp. "SteelCentral Services Controller for SteelApp manages the licensing of instances of SteelApp Traffic Manager, the market-leading virtual ADC, across the hybrid infrastructure, keeping costs down and simplifying manageability."
