Riverbed has two industry leading solution areas – The Alluvio Unified Observability portfolio and Riverbed Acceleration. Alluvio, the company’s Unified Observability portfolio, provides IT with a unified view to see through massive complexity, and transform data into actionable insights across the entire digital ecosystem and enable automated self-healing.
The company’s Acceleration solutions provide fast, agile, secure acceleration of any app over any network to users, whether mobile, remote, or on-premises. Riverbed’s industry-leading acceleration portfolio delivers cloud, SaaS, client and eCDN applications at peak speeds, overcoming network latency, congestion, and suboptimal last-mile conditions to empower the hybrid workforce.

Additionally, Riverbed’s enterprise SD-WAN provides best-in-class performance, agility, security, and simplified management of hybrid WAN networks.
According to Riverbed’s recently conducted Hybrid Work Global Survey, 75% of business decision-makers say their organisations struggle to glean actionable insights from data that is generated by their technology infrastructure. Furthermore, IT still relies on siloed tools to manage performance and user experience and are overwhelmed by massive amounts of disparate data and alerts that provide little context or actionable insights.
Observability is meant to solve these problems, but current solutions fall short. Observability tools that limit or sample data rather than capture everything leave IT blind to potential issues or opportunities for proactive improvement. Even so-called full-stack observability solutions fail to capture all relevant user, network, and application telemetry to effectively troubleshoot problems at scale for today’s complex, hybrid, and distributed infrastructures.
Riverbed’s vision of the Alluvio unified observability portfolio is to capture every packet flow, and end user transaction across multi-cloud and on-premises networks, applications, and user systems at full fidelity; and then apply intelligence through machine learning and artificial intelligence and automated investigative workflows to help IT quickly identify and resolve business-impacting issues so organisations can maintain productivity and deliver on user experience expectations.
In September, Riverbed announced its first unified observability service, Alluvio IQ. Alluvio IQ solves the challenges of siloed IT monitoring tools which flood network teams with massive volumes of data and alerts on single metrics or interfaces that fail to provide context or actionable insights that IT needs to resolve performance problems quickly.
Future innovation will provide visibility into hybrid work use cases and predictive analysis to identify trends. Riverbed will also focus on user sentiment, did you know experience insights, and desktop remediations. As for Riverbed Acceleration, the company will continue to enhance and add new capabilities to the products and solutions within that portfolio.
In the Middle East, Riverbed has continued to prove itself as a key technology partner to leading enterprises particularly in the banking, energy, oil and gas, and public sectors. Some publicly referenceable regional customer wins the company has had in the last 18 months include Shelf Drilling, Ghabbour Auto, Halkbank, and ELARABY.
TOP EXECUTIVE
Mena Migally leads a team across the region who are helping local organisations modernise their IT environments by introducing unified observability and acceleration solutions to enhance performance, agility, and flexibility.
An industry veteran of 19 years, Mena has been a part of the Riverbed team since 2014 and during this time, he has played a key role in expanding the company’s customer and partner base. Prior to joining Riverbed, Mena spent six years in a variety of roles at IBM, most recently as Storage Sales Manager for Saudi Arabia, Levant and Pakistan. He has also held positions at Lenovo and Sanofi.
Under Migally’s leadership, Riverbed has excelled at enabling organisations in the Middle East, Turkey and Africa, to transform and navigate the uncertainties and challenges of the post-pandemic world successfully digitally. As a result, the company experienced 48% year-on-year growth in project bookings through 2021.
In every professional endeavour he has undertaken, Migally has strived to infuse tangible value into all engagements that the role entails – be it with colleagues, customers, or partners. With this serving as one of the key metrics by which he evaluates his personal success, he states that he feels blessed to have been able to accomplish this daily.
While Migally holds several organisations and executives in high esteem, a common trait they all share is the ability to envision and communicate a clear strategy and subsequently create a corporate culture based on trust, transparency and accountability that empowers and encourages team members actively contribute to making the ‘big picture’ a reality. This is something Migally has both experienced and worked to propagate through Riverbed over his last eight years at the company.
Migally is an avid collector of classic cars – primarily BMWs – and finds the process of restoring them both relaxing and rewarding. He is also passionate about music and plays both the bass and rhythm guitar. When he’s not spending time with his family or indulging his hobbies, Mena enjoys socialising and spending quality time with friends and colleagues.
