SINGAPORE
– October 20, 2016 –
Riverbed Technology, the application performance company, today announced the latest
release of Riverbed SteelCentral, which addresses the end-to-end performance
management needs of enterprises. Companies are still suffering from a
fragmented approach to performance monitoring using stand-alone tools that do
not provide a full view of performance. With this SteelCentral release,
Riverbed continues to expand, integrate and simplify application performance
management, providing the broadest and most comprehensive solution, allowing
enterprises to reduce or eliminate fragmentation and dramatically simplify the
process for monitoring and managing application performance. New enhancements
to SteelCentral advance the communication and interoperability of the
performance monitoring modules enabling companies to better manage packet data,
infrastructure, applications, and unified communications (UC). In addition,
SteelCentral is expanding its end-user experience management capabilities to
better address the evolving demands that new devices, platforms, and
initiatives place on modern enterprise IT.

“SteelCentral
is striving to deliver the most complete, modular and integrated performance
management solution in the marketplace, monitoring end-users, applications,
networks and infrastructure—wherever they are, on or off the cloud. This
release delivers significant advances to help enterprises holistically manage
performance,” said Mike Sargent, SVP and General Manager of SteelCentral at
Riverbed.“With this latest release, our customers are better able to
proactively detect performance issues and rapidly pinpoint the root cause,
regardless of whether it originates in the application, network, infrastructure
or end-user device.”

Unified solution for network forensics, network-based
application and end-user experience monitoring. IT
organizations are increasingly asked to manage all aspects of application
performance including the impact of network performance on applications. With
this release, Riverbed announces the availability of SteelCentral AppResponse
11. The new solution combines the capabilities of Riverbed’s two network-based
monitoring solutions—SteelCentral AppResponse and SteelCentral
NetShark—providing network forensics and analytics, application analytics, and
end-user experience monitoring in a single, rich and easy-to-adopt solution. It
is designed to deliver value immediately out of the box for a broad set of
users – network, security, app-ops and “tiger” teams—and because pre-defined
insights and expert analysis are offered, the solution helps both novice and
expert users. SteelCentral AppResponse 11 also significantly increases the
richness of performance metrics available to users, by providing access to
finer grained transaction data for which users were previously forced to access
packet analysis, thus speeding analysis and decreasing mean time to resolution
(MTTR).

“We’re really pleased with the SteelCentral AppResponse 11
announcement,” said Troy Radtke, Senior Manager of Enterprise Monitoring,
Deluxe Corp. “AppResponse 11 adds all the great network forensics capabilities
from NetShark and combines them with the application and end-user experience
monitoring capabilities of AppResponse and puts it all into one, easy-to-use
solution. As a bonus, it gives us a virtual solution with the exact same
capabilities.”

Capture, manage and troubleshoot infrastructure. Riverbed
also introduces SteelCentral NetIM, a holistic solution for infrastructure
discovery, monitoring, analysis and troubleshooting. The solution replaces
SteelCentral NetCollector and NetSensor to create a single, integrated solution
that enables companies to capture infrastructure information, determine state,
detect performance and configuration issues, map and monitor application
network paths and troubleshoot infrastructure problems. As an integrated
component of Riverbed SteelCentral, NetIM customers will manage infrastructure
issues within the context of application, network and end-user experience for a
truly blended view of total performance.

“SteelCentral appeals to companies struggling with too many
tools supporting their IT Operations teams,” said Julie Craig, Research
Director, Application Management, at Enterprise Management Associates. “With
this latest release, SteelCentral offers a more unified, integrated perspective
on enterprise performance, combining visibility to unified communications with
infrastructure monitoring, network, end-user, and application monitoring.
Riverbed continues to be uniquely positioned as an end-to-end performance
monitoring vendor, with particularly strong capabilities supporting Application
Performance Management (APM) and User Experience Management (UEM).”

Intelligent voice call path analysis & troubleshooting. As
companies struggle to manage unified communications (UC), identifying the root
causes of network and infrastructure-based UC degradations is very complex and
time-consuming. With this release, SteelCentral UCExpert, a multi-vendor UC
monitoring solution, introduces Intelligent Path Analysis Troubleshooting which
enables IT staff to monitor the entire call path for a specific call and all
the relevant performance metrics, including the device, network and specific
settings impacting the service between the caller and receiver. Unlike
competitive products that force administrators to manually correlate call and
network information, this new analysis enables administrators to quickly
identify network-based UC problems and dramatically reduce troubleshooting
time.

Enhanced end-user experience management for the enterprise. The
enterprise end-user computing environment is undergoing rapid change. BYOD
initiatives and millennial workers have driven a need for modern experiences
across a broad range of devices; however, this wider spectrum of solutions creates
blind spots as companies are challenged to understand end-user experience. As
they advance platforms and operating systems to meet these needs, it also
introduces the risk that migration initiatives may not perform as expected.
With this release, SteelCentral Aternity enables IT to ensure an excellent
end-user experience for the entire device estate, both Mac and Windows OS, with
a consistent, unified workflow and dashboards. In addition, the release
introduces unique side-by-side analytics that enable Level 3 support teams to
validate the impact of strategic change initiatives, such as a Windows 10
migration, before a full enterprise rollout. As a result, these teams are able
to mitigate the risk of costly application and device roll-backs while validating
the impact of change on application and device health.
