Northwest Pipe Company has been a leading manufacturer of welded steel pipe since 1966. Key components of its IT environment were reaching end-of-life, at a time when increasing network traffic was saturating bandwidth, leading to “people complaining about apps not running the way they should.” The cost of separate solutions would be expensive. Instead, Northwest Pipe chose Riverbed. SteelHead solves the bandwidth saturation and app performance issues, and provides better visibility into app and network performance. SteelFusion eliminates the need for new servers at manufacturing sites – taking IT infrastructure out of the branch – and also secures manufacturing data by allowing it to be stored and managed centrally in the data center.
