Columbian Chemicals Company

Overview

Riverbed solutions help Columbian Chemicals streamline its WAN, lowering equipment and management costs.

With 1,300 employees in 11 locations worldwide, Columbian Chemicals faces technology challenges that are common among global enterprise companies: limited IT staff, an array of widely dispersed equipment, and increasing network demands that come with operating a global business 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

To optimize its network while eliminating as much hardware at remote sites as possible, Columbian Chemicals selected Riverbed solutions, including SteelHead and Cascade. By offering rapid global deployment without the need for local IT support, Riverbed technology enabled Columbian Chemicals to complete a successful rollout in just two months.
