Hierarchical QoS gives customers more robust and granular QoS capabilities as well. Any Steelhead appliance is upgradable to RiOS 5.0 to reap the benefits of these new capabilities.

RiOS for Mobile Users

With the release of Steelhead Mobile, Riverbed has allowed RiOS to scale all the way down to a single user. Riverbed has taken its proven platform and maximised performance for mobile workers, unlike other vendors who have tried to put together a solution though different acquisitions. Steelhead Mobile allows individual users to get the same LAN-like application performance that they have come to expect from Steelhead appliances. By using the same platform as the appliances, Steelhead Mobile plugs into the existing infrastructure with little or no additional work. Steelhead Mobile uses RiOS's advanced auto-discovery features to automatically find the Steelhead appliance in the data center which is required to speed-up files and applications. RiOS for Steelhead Mobile has all of the key features of RiOS v5.0, although not all of the application modules are included.

While some other solutions can solve one or two parts of application acceleration such as packet compression, Quality of Service (QoS), or WAFS (a.k.a. file caching), Riverbed has consistently stayed ahead of the market by attacking the three root causes of poor wide-area application performance simultaneously:

• Insufficient WAN bandwidth
• Inefficient transport protocols
• Inefficient application protocols

Steelhead Appliances Accelerate All Applications

With RiOS, all key enterprise applications are accelerated across the WAN, many to LAN-like performance.
