Riverbed SteelConnect EX is a powerful enterprise SD-WAN solution that integrates best-in-class routing, application acceleration, network visibility, and security services – a flexible and complete WAN Edge platform that gives you what you need to modernize your network and propel your enterprise business in the digital age.  

Create a modern network that propels business with agility and efficiency

Redefine possible with a software-defined WAN that gives you the power to manage a complex network landscape of hybrid WAN connectivity and applications spanning on-premises, SaaS and Cloud-based.  Leverage zero-touch provisioning (ZTP), policy-based orchestration plus real-time visibility and analytics to streamline new site deployment, application roll-out, and network operations.

Benefits:

  • Agility: Quickly respond to the needs of your business with application-defined, business intent-based policies that are centrally managed and applied network-wide across all remote locations, including zero-touch provisioning and rapid change management. Utilize comprehensive routing and application-aware path control to easily manage your global network.
  • Speed: Deliver superior application performance to your business with industry-leading application optimization and end-to-end unified visibility with comprehensive network performance monitoring (NPM). Combing with SaaS acceleration, improve SaaS performance up to 33x by mitigating latency and reducing the bandwidth of up to 99% for leading enterprise SaaS applications, including Microsoft Office 365, Salesforce, ServiceNow, Box and more.
  • Cost-Effective: Maximize the use of redundant and lower-cost connectivity options with zero-touch provisioning and centralized management to reduce the cost of deploying and maintaining hybrid WAN networks (MPLS and Internet) and hybrid architectures. Incrementally add new services without having to deploy all services at once future-proofing your WAN edge and reducing appliance sprawl at branches.
  • Security: Choose the security architecture that best meets your needs. Backhaul the SaaS and Cloud traffic to the data center to centrally inspect the traffic or enable direct branch-to-Internet breakouts to deliver superior user experience for SaaS and cloud applications. With advanced security and application acceleration integrated with SD-WAN, application performance and security are no longer a trade-off.
