Riverbed Steelhead RSP Platform

Riverbed Steelhead RSP Platform- The RSP is uniquely suited to branch office server consolidation and virtualization. First, the Steelhead appliance is the only wide area network (WAN) optimization device to run industry-leading technology from VMware as the virtualization platform, taking advantage of the skills companies already have in house. Virtual servers run in a protected zone and do not impact the resources needed for peak Steelhead appliance operations. The RSP also enables customers to run up to five different virtual machines at once, eliminating many more servers from the branch office. And, the RSP runs on most Steelhead appliance models, enabling customers to benefit without having to replace their previous investments in Riverbed. The RSP has advanced network rules capabilities, guaranteeing that data travels in and out from the LAN or WAN in a fashion that matches the nature of the application being served. Benefiting from the Riverbed Technology Alliance (RTA), the RSP also supports tested applications from a wide variety of category leading products, as well as any VMware virtual machine.
