Optimize SMB Traffic for Increased Employee Productivity

When it comes to today’s distributed enterprises and hybrid workforces, providing an excellent digital employee experience (DEX) is key to productivity — especially when your organization relies on fast, secure access to files.

Organizations share files using the Server Message Block (SMB) protocol for convenience and the security it provides, but it comes at a cost: High latency over the WAN, which causes delays that can impact productivity.

While WAN acceleration solutions can reduce latency and improve bandwidth utilization, companies are hesitant to use them. Why? The solutions may not fit the company’s security policies.

Here’s where Riverbed Acceleration solutions are different. With three different deployment models, companies can optimize SMB WAN traffic without compromising on security.

The result:

• Up to 40 times faster SMB traffic speeds.
• Up to 99% reduction in bandwidth consumption.
