Riverbed Cloud Steelhead

Cloud Computing builds on many of the advances in the IT industry over the past decade and presents significant measurable benefits for businesses, e.g. shortening time to market and reducing costs by consuming shared computing and storage resources rather than building, operating and improving infrastructure on your own.

The value of the cloud is undeniable. It is critical however that cloud service adoption is not hampered by the same performance constraints that exist in the current distributed IT infrastructure environments, such as latency and bandwidth.

Riverbed Cloud Steelhead provides optimisation for the public cloud and is the first cloud-intelligent solution to be offered for Amazon Web Services (AWS). Combining the speed and simplicity of a Steelhead, subscription pricing and a host of intelligent features like transparent interception, Cloud Steelhead transforms the public cloud into a barrier-free extension of the data centre.

Cloud Steelhead is easily installed and scales within Amazon Web Services’ EC2 (Elastic Cloud Compute) and VPC (Virtual Private Cloud) environments. Cloud Steelhead also offers validated technical compatibility with cloud service providers including Terremark, ZettaServe and Xtium, as well as solution technology partners CloudSwitch and Media Platform.

Cloud Steelhead provides the following key benefits:

Instant deployment
Simple, portal-based management
Elastic sizing and easy cloning
Advanced cloud interception
