Riverbed SteelApp Traffic Manager receives Azure certification

Riverbed Technology, an application performance infrastructure provider, has announced another product from the Riverbed Application Performance Platform is now Microsoft Azure-certified. 

SteelApp Traffic Manager, Riverbed’s virtual application delivery controller (ADC), joins the Microsoft Azure-certified Riverbed SteelHead, which is for cloud-based WAN optimisation. Both products are part of the Riverbed Application Performance Platform, which enable customers to analyse, diagnose and resolve application, network and end-user performance issues across the hybrid enterprise.

As enterprises continue to move toward a hybrid model, they face a range of new performance challenges, including architectural complexity, distribution of resources across private and public data centres and blind spots for support, management and security. By deploying Riverbed SteelApp and SteelHead in Azure, customers can take advantage of the cost-savings and agility of the cloud, while also solving the performance challenges: optimising and accelerating the delivery of applications from Azure to business locations faster, using less bandwidth, and with greater security; and optimising, accelerating and customising web experiences and interactions.

“Customers interested in extending their enterprise to support workloads in the cloud on Azure now have access to Riverbed’s products to improve software as a service (SaaS) performance while keeping costs down and simplifying manageability in the cloud,” said Jeff Pancottine, Senior VP and GM, SteelApp at Riverbed.

“As Azure works to erase the boundaries between cloud development and operational management, partners like Riverbed provide the application performance infrastructure that optimises the end user’s experience when apps are delivered via the cloud,” said Garth Fort, GM of Enterprise Partners, Microsoft. “In today’s cloud-first world, applications should be accessed and delivered quickly, securely and cost effectively, and Riverbed provides the cloud application performance infrastructure that makes this happen.”
