4 Port GigE NIC

Except for the 100 and 200, all Steelhead applainces support an optional 4 port Gigabit Ethernet card. The 520, 1020, and 2020 support one 4-port card. Models 3020, 3520, 5520, and 6020 support up to three 4-port cards, for a total of 12 GigE interfaces. 4-port cards are required for dual-router networks to make sure of simple integration of a single Steelhead appliance into those more complex environments. For an additional charge these cards are available.

Automated Data Store Copying

This function is effective in environments with two Steelhead appliances, one primary and one backup. With Automated Datastore Copying, the reference data and the references created with SDR are automatically copied from the primary to the backup Steelhead appliance. If a software crash or a hardware or power failure occurs in the primary Steelhead appliance, the backup appliance can take over with a "warm" data store, and it can begin providing optimized performance right away.

Connection Forwarding / Asymmetric Routing Support

For networks with asymmetric routing on either side of the WAN (data center or branch office), RiOS includes mechanisms for connection forwarding. All Steelhead appliances are supported with asymmetric routing which allows easy integration into the most complex enterprise networks.
