Riverbed’s hyper-converged edge solution, SteelFusion offers a new approach to remote office and branch office (ROBO) IT. It eliminates the data risk and arduous backup and recovery processes of ROBO-based IT by removing physical servers, storage, data and backup from remote locations, consolidating all of these IT operations to central data centers, and delivering well-managed, highly secure, and resilient IT services out to all remote offices. Servers and storage no longer need to be provisioned or maintained in remote offices, and provisioning and recovery of remote sites can now be done instantly from the data center, without losing data. Data is encrypted to ensure security and reduce risks associated with data in remote locations. Meanwhile according to Roxtec, the SteelHead WAN optimization technology embedded into SteelFusion accelerates application and data traffic for branch users, with its patented deduplication technologies reducing Roxtec’s network traffic by up to 30% and MAPI traffic by 65%, which results in a better user experience.

This announcement builds on the SteelFusion 4.0 release in April 2015 that delivered updated and redesigned hardware platforms to provide increased performance and scalability for remote sites and regional hubs of all sizes. In November, Riverbed announced SteelFusion support for customers using VMware vSphere 6. Now, Riverbed is continuing to expand its SteelFusion ecosystem with leading cloud providers AWS and Microsoft, giving enterprises the additional flexibility to access cloud-based storage, backup, and tiering capabilities from one centralized location – eliminating the need to invest in costly physical servers at remote locations.
