GEC NEWS WIRENew Brand Names and Focus on Platform Further Position Riverbed as the Leader in Application Performance Infrastructure, an $11 Billion Market Opportunity\
Riverbed Technology introduced new product names that better describe what each product does and reflect how together they deliver unique strategic value as part of an integrated solution, the Riverbed Application Performance Platform. The consistent naming framework reinforces how Riverbed solutions work together to deliver optimal application and data performance across global infrastructures.
The new product family names build off Riverbed’s flagship product, Steelhead. Each begins with a word that signifies the strength of infrastructure and celebrates Riverbed’s heritage, Steel:
Riverbed SteelHead (formerly Steelhead) – the #1 WAN optimization solution that delivers applications and data at the fastest speeds across the optimal networks for the lowest cost.
Riverbed SteelFusion (formerly Granite) – the only branch converged infrastructure that delivers local performance, data centralization, instant recovery and lower TCO.
Riverbed SteelApp (formerly Stingray) – the #1 virtual application delivery controller (ADC) for scalable, secure and elastic delivery of enterprise, cloud and e-commerce applications.
Riverbed SteelStore (formerly Whitewater) – the industry’s most scalable cloud storage appliance that reduces data protection costs by up to 80%, integrates seamlessly into existing backup infrastructure and eliminates tape backup.
Riverbed SteelCentral (formerly OPNET, Cascade and NEOP) – the only performance management suite that combines user experience, application and network performance management to provide the visibility needed to diagnose and cure issues before end users notice a problem, call the help desk to complain or jump to another web site out of frustration.
Riverbed SteelScript (formerly FlyScript) – open APIs and developer tools to customize and automate application performance infrastructure from Riverbed.
