
Seconds of “wait time”
becomes minutes…
hours…days.

Users create workarounds to avoid
corporate applications

Applications are just
too slow

Small tasks become
big ones

IT is focused on
fire-fighting

The Riverbed Optimization System (RiOS)
12
The three root causes of poor wide-area application performance
Not enough bandwidth
Transport protocol chattiness
Application protocol inefficiencies
If you don’t solve all three, users won’t see performance benefits.

RiOS is an integrated approach
The Riverbed Optimization System
Data Streamlining
• Eliminate redundant bytes from transfers
Transport Streamlining
• Eliminate transport protocol inefficiencies
Application Streamlining
• Optimize application WAN performance
Management Streamlining
• Enable transparent deployment & central management

• Requests go directly from the client to the server
• Steelhead auto-intercepts response, and segments data
• Only new bytes compressed & sent over the WAN
• 16-Byte references communicate megabytes of existing data
• Remote Steelhead reconstructs data and delivers it to the client
