Fast & Secure
Riverbed SteelHead CX has a simple, yet critical, mission: speed the transfer of data and applications over the Internet and wide area networks (WANs). Whether it’s in branch offices, datacenters, rugged and virtual environments, or the cloud, the performance and productivity you get is so fast you’ll swear your WAN is behaving like a LAN.
Multi-tiered optimization
SteelHead CX includes the Riverbed Optimization System (RiOS), which delivers LAN-like performance across the WAN and accelerates all TCP applications to increase performance up to 100x. Moreover it combines data reduction, as well as TCP, UDP, and application-level protocol optimization across the WAN for an unparalleled multi-tiered optimization strategy.
Support for large-scale deployments
SteelHead CX supports up to one million connections through an intelligent and scale-as-you-grow performance architecture and improves ROI with up to 50% more connections and throughput from a single appliance.
Faster, more cost-effective disaster recovery
SteelHead CX helps to accelerates both replication and backup from the branch or between data centers and eliminates the need for additional bandwidth or longer backup windows.
Industry-leading performance
The solution features high-capacity all SSD-based WAN optimization controller and includes a full range of SSD-based appliances ideal for large branch offices and data centers.
Built-in visibility and packet capture
SteelHead CX provides remote-site troubleshooting and application-level visibility without affecting core WAN optimization – at no additional cost.
