WAN optimization is in its second decade of existence. Without a doubt, most network pros know a thing or two about the technology and all the goodness it delivers to the business.
But today s hybrid enterprise is dynamic, complex, and requires more than traditional WAN optimization to effectively and securely deliver mission-critical applications.

Business and application requirements continuously change, so IT needs to be highly agile when reconfiguring networks to accommodate these modifications. SD-WAN solutions are emerging to help automate and manage some bits and pieces at the edge. But what companies need is a comprehensive solution that enables business-defined (not network-confined) application delivery across end-to-end hybrid architectures.
That s where Riverbed, the pioneer and longtime leader in the WAN optimization space, comes into play.
