In today’s digital landscape, where data has become the most valuable resource for organizations, businesses face significant challenges in meeting the increasing demands on their network infrastructures. The proliferation of artificial intelligence (AI)-based processes has heightened the need to transfer large volumes of data quickly and efficiently. In this context, the Riverbed platform emerges as a comprehensive solution designed to optimize application performance, strengthen business resilience, and provide advanced acceleration and observability tools that enable companies to remain competitive in an ever-evolving technological environment.
Challenges of Business Resilience in the Era of AI and Remote Work
The adoption of AI, remote work, and cloud services has exponentially increased the pressure on enterprise networks. The vast amounts of data generated by these processes challenge the ability of networks to operate without interruption, which can impact business resilience. Network congestion, high bandwidth costs, and performance bottlenecks slow down applications and directly affect employee productivity, customer satisfaction, and the success of key initiatives.
The increase in AI-driven tasks and real-time analytics applications has dramatically raised data traffic on networks. These processes require low-latency environments to operate efficiently, and any network limitation can delay critical processes such as AI model training and real-time decision-making, negatively affecting productivity and business responsiveness.
Riverbed: 20 Years of Experience in Acceleration and Observability to Ensure Resilience
With over two decades of experience, Riverbed partners with some of the largest organizations in the world to enhance the performance and efficiency of data and application transfers, regardless of the environment or network conditions. Among its clients are 83% of the companies listed in the Fortune Global 500.
“At Riverbed, we understand that business resilience goes beyond merely monitoring digital performance; it’s about continuously improving it,” explains Mike Marks, Vice President of Product Marketing at Riverbed. “Our platform combines application acceleration and advanced observability to ensure that businesses can operate efficiently, anywhere and under any network condition.”
Advantages of the Riverbed Platform: Integrated Acceleration and Observability
The Riverbed platform offers a straightforward and comprehensive approach to tackling business resilience challenges through two key solutions: Riverbed Acceleration and Riverbed Unified Observability. These tools empower IT teams to prevent, identify, and resolve issues, ensuring that applications operate at peak performance on any network and device.
- Riverbed Acceleration enhances network and application performance by optimizing data transfers and eliminating inefficiencies. This technology minimizes redundant data transmissions, accelerates application delivery, and increases resilience in data transfer, ensuring that AI workloads, cloud applications, and remote work environments operate efficiently, even in unstable network conditions.
- Riverbed Unified Observability provides deep visibility into network performance, application behavior, and data flows in complex and hybrid environments. By collecting real-time data from across the IT ecosystem and analyzing it with AI, Riverbed enables IT teams to quickly identify and resolve bandwidth usage issues, latency, and network bottlenecks. This ensures smooth operation of critical processes such as those driven by AI and cloud applications.
A Comprehensive Platform for the Digital Experience
The Riverbed platform unifies acceleration and observability into one complete solution. Unlike other providers that offer standalone solutions, Riverbed offers a standards-based, cloud-native platform with agile deployment capabilities. From Azure, the platform provides SaaS observability tools that the IT team can quickly implement, securely manage, and scale as needed. Thanks to its advanced AI and automation engine, the platform facilitates new features that streamline repetitive tasks, thus enhancing the digital experience for users.
Riverbed continues to lead the market with a platform that not only monitors but actively improves the digital experience of organizations. In an environment where efficiency and resilience are essential, Riverbed provides a robust solution that enables businesses to remain competitive and resilient in the face of digital world challenges.
