Marubeni America Corporation, a general trading company, had individual branch offices with their own servers, and remote workers were unable to instantly access the information they needed. They also had no central control over Internet usage.
With the Riverbed SteelHead appliance, all branch office server hardware was consolidated to a central location. The installation was simple and user complaints stopped instantly. Real results include a 75 percent reduction in bandwidth, 4 times greater network utilization, and a savings of $290k in hardware and support costs.
