Ups and downs of Riverbed
- For many protocols, Steelhead does not need any tuning to provide benefit.
- In our offices that are using SnapMirror replication we've seen over 90% optimization.
- We've had a recurring issue with SPORT errors causing Steelhead to crash across our environment. This has been an issue across several versions of code.
- Steelhead will randomly drop out of the AD domain thus disabling SMB2/3 optimization and encrypted MAPI optimization.

Steelhead Riverbed - a solid performer
- Optimizes traffic, reducing bandwidth needs
- Gives insight into traffic
- Simple to set up and deploy
- A reduction in price is always welcomed
- Simplify and streamline advanced features and add-on pieces for more detailed traffic analysis
- Getting granularity into traffic behavior becomes confusing and very expensive
