Riverbed will showcase its Digital Experience Management (DEM) portfolio – including cloud native Application Performance Management (APM) and End User Experience Monitoring (EUEM) solutions – in booth #406 at O’Reilly Velocity 2019 conference in San Jose, California on June 10 – 13.
A Riverbed speaking session titled, “25 Billion Transactions and Counting: How Dell manages application performance at scale,” will feature a discussion with Dell on how to scale monitoring in cloud-native environments and evolving DevOps practices for optimal app performance at scale. The session will include real world use cases, including how the team was able to optimally prepare for the volatility of Black Friday leveraging Dell’s partnership with Riverbed to deliver exceptional application performance.
Riverbed enables organizations to measure digital experiences and maximize cloud-native application performance so customers can deliver better end user experiences. Today, cloud-native applications demand new tools that provide deep visibility into containers, microservices, end users and transactions–at scale. Riverbed delivers unified cloud-native APM that is scalable, high-definition, enterprise-grade and easy to manage and deploy. Riverbed’s multi-cloud technology support includes Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, Azure, Google Cloud Platform, Pivotal Cloud Foundry and Red Hat OpenShift platforms.
At Velocity, attendees visiting Riverbed Booth #406 will see live demos, and learn how to:
- Gain deep visibility into transactions, user experience, containers and microservices—on and off the cloud
- Capture and store every transaction, with full metadata detail, at any scale
- Deploy and manage Riverbed APM easily with automated discovery and non-intrusive instrumentation for cloud-native environments
- Measure and manage the entire digital experience, including down to the end user device with Riverbed end user experience monitoring
Riverbed Speaking Session: 25 Billion Transactions and Counting: How Dell Manages Application Performance at Scale
Date: Wednesday, June 12, 2019
Time: 2-2:20 pm
Location: LL20 D
Presenter: Jon Hodgson, principal scientist, at Riverbed, with Dell application performance team, Jeremy Tupa and Marcelo Soares
This session will focus on scaling application performance monitoring in cloud-native environments.
With hundreds of Dell engineers across development, ops and support teams participating in an optimization effort for 2,000+ legacy and interconnected cloud-native applications, Dell’s application performance team has particular expertise in evolving DevOps practices and employing cutting-edge technology to ensure the best application performance at scale. During the session, Jeremy Tupa and Marcelo Soares will walk attendees through real-world cases, including how the team was able to optimally prepare for the volatility of Black Friday leveraging Dell’s partnership with Riverbed to deliver exceptional application performance.
Attendees will receive practical advice that can be applied to their own environment, whether large or small, including how to manage and optimize tens of thousands of microservices and containers, as well as key insights for evolving DevOps tools and methodologies.

In live financial environments, capital markets software cannot pause for rebuilds. New capabilities are introduced as stacked technology layers to meet evolving demands while systems remain active, data keeps moving, and controls stay intact. AI is no exception, and its opportunities are significant: accelerated decision cycles, compressed manual workflows, and more effective operations across complex environments. The constraint isn't the models themselves, but the architectural environments they enter ...
Like most digital transformation shifts, organizations often prioritize productivity and leave security and observability to keep pace. This usually translates to both the mass implementation of new technology and fragmented monitoring and observability (M&O) tooling. In the era of AI and varied cloud architecture, a disparate observability function can be dangerous. IT teams will lack a complete picture of their IT environment, making it harder to diagnose issues while slowing down mean time to resolve (MTTR). In fact, according to recent data from the SolarWinds State of Monitoring & Observability Report, 77% of IT personnel said the lack of visibility across their on-prem and cloud architecture was an issue ...

Technology management is evolving, and in turn, so is the scope of FinOps. The FinOps Foundation recently updated their mission statement from "advancing the people who manage the value of cloud" to "advancing the people who manage the value of technology." This seemingly small change solidifies a larger evolution: FinOps practitioners have organically expanded to be focused on more than just cloud cost optimization. Today, FinOps teams are largely — and quickly — expanding their job descriptions, evolving into a critical function for managing the full value of technology ...
Enterprises are under pressure to scale AI quickly. Yet despite considerable investment, adoption continues to stall. One of the most overlooked reasons is vendor sprawl ... In reality, no organization deliberately sets out to create sprawling vendor ecosystems. More often, complexity accumulates over time through well-intentioned initiatives, such as enterprise-wide digital transformation efforts, point solutions, or decentralized sourcing strategies ...
Nearly every conversation about AI eventually circles back to compute. GPUs dominate the headlines while cloud platforms compete for workloads and model benchmarks drive investment decisions. But underneath that noise, a quieter infrastructure challenge is taking shape. The real bottleneck in enterprise AI is not processing power, it is the ability to store, manage and retrieve the relentless volumes of data that AI systems generate, consume and multiply ...

The observability industry has an evolving relationship with AI. We're not skeptics, but it's clear that trust in AI must be earned ... In Grafana Labs' annual Observability Survey, 92% said they see real value in AI surfacing anomalies before they cause downtime. Another 91% endorsed AI for forecasting and root cause analysis. So while the demand is there, customers need it to be trustworthy, as the survey also found that the practitioners most enthusiastic about AI are also the most insistent on explainability ...
In the modern enterprise, the conversation around AI has moved past skepticism toward a stage of active adoption. According to our 2026 State of IT Trends Report: The Human Side of Autonomous AI, nearly 90% of IT professionals view AI as a net positive, and this optimism is well-founded. We are seeing agentic AI move beyond simple automation to actively streamlining complex data insights and eliminating the manual toil that has long hindered innovation. However, as we integrate these autonomous agents into our ecosystems, the fundamental DNA of the IT role is evolving ...
