“We considered centralizing all of the servers in Toronto, but in view of needing to keep applications and data local, WAN optimization alone was not the best solution,” said Rohit Tellis, director of Information Technology at Alamos. Yet maintaining dedicated infrastructure at each site also prohibited Alamos from supporting distant locations due to a lack of local IT expertise, difficulty in transporting servers to the sites, and the need for data generated at the mines to be backed up and stored. After presenting these challenges to multiple vendors, Alamos found that only Riverbed was able to provide a viable solution to meet its needs.

When Rayonier decided to spin off Rayonier Advanced Materials, Rayonier’s director of IT operations, David Nettles, was tasked with creating a separate IT environment for the new company.

Without SteelHead, we’d end up with extremely high network costs. So one of our requirements in picking a cloud provider was that we could install our SteelHead appliances there.”
