Riverbed Cascade

Riverbed Cascade

What is the Riverbed Cascade?

A new way of managing and optimising application performance and security by analysing the interactions of users with the applications, systems, and network devices that comprise the application delivery infrastructure..

Server virtualization, data center consolidation, and Web services initiatives are changing the IT landscape. Organizations are increasingly finding significant gaps in their ability to secure and manage the availability and performance of key business services.

Riverbed Cascade™ combines visibility into end-to-end application delivery dependencies with Network behaviour Analysis (NBA) to address these management gaps. Riverbed's network and application analysis and reporting solution spans WAN and telecommunications, network engineering, application monitoring, and data center operations groups to provide enterprise-wide application performance analysis, data on server and application dependencies, and the tools for IT managers to immediately determine their bottlenecks for the delivery of applications across their infrastructure.

Accelerate the Applications that are the Most Important to You.

Riverbed has architected its products to provide the best possible acceleration for the broadest range of enterprise applications. This means that employees across your organisation can see dramatic, immediate benefits from the Steelhead product family. The Steelhead family is built on an application-independent architecture that optimises all TCP traffic for bandwidth utilisation and TCP behavior. On top of this architecture, Riverbed has built a series of Application Streamlining modules that further optimise applications like Windows, Exchange, HTTP, HTTPS, NFS, and MS SQL.
