Solution: Application streamlining with Riverbed SteelHead

One of the most important functions of SteelHead for VTB Group is application performance optimisation, as well as the ability to select the optimal path for accelerating applications anywhere through the use of technologies of deep packet inspection (DPI). All the required goals were achieved and in particular, VTB Bank measured tangible results of application performance optimisation — the network load decreased by 62%. This allowed freeing up of bandwidth for critical business and multimedia applications. The implementation of Riverbed solutions was carried out in timely manner and the results obtained during the testing phase had been achieved after the full introduction of solutions.
