Cloud Accelerator

Riverbed Cloud Accelerator is an infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) environment that accelerates migration and enhances access and reliability for any workload.

Today’s digital landscape has expanded to multi-cloud, hybrid networks, as well as an almost endless array of new cloud-based business applications and workloads. As a result, enterprises are addressing new concerns about the unpredictable performance of cloud workloads impacting overall business productivity. Data takes longer to get to and from distant locations, and therefore, the performance ofcloud workloads may be hindered by latency. In some instances, bandwidth may be insufficient for certain types of modern workloads. Riverbed Cloud Accelerator runs on leading IaaS platforms such as Microsoft Azure, AWS, and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure to accelerate migration and access to workloads through proven data, transport, and application streamlining, ultimately increasing time to market, enhancing employee productivity, and delivering maximum cloud value to the business.
