Riverbed Technology announced new capabilities and licensing options for Riverbed SteelCentral Services Controller for SteelApp, making it easier for companies to solve application performance challenges as they evolve toward a hybrid enterprise model, with a mix of owned applications and cloud-based services. These new capabilities ensure application availability and reduce the costs of hosting an application and its corresponding application delivery infrastructure in any type of environment whether on-premises or in private, public or hybrid clouds.

“The enterprise is going hybrid – transforming into a mix of workloads hosted on-premises and delivered as services from public clouds, with core applications and data running in private data centers and others running in the public cloud or a combination of both. Basic load-balancing has become a minimum standard for ensuring scalable access to web-based applications; but, more functional ADCs are needed in hybrid environments to optimize applications at a more granular level,” said Jeff Pancottine, SVP and GM of Riverbed SteelApp. “SteelCentral Services Controller for SteelApp manages the licensing of instances of SteelApp Traffic Manager, the market-leading virtual ADC, across the hybrid infrastructure, keeping costs down and simplifying manageability.”
