A Riverbed Case Study
AlertBoot is a cloud-based provider of mobile device security and managed encryption services that runs its sales and customer portals entirely online. As the company moved to a virtualized public-cloud environment and relied on third-party web components and CDN gaps in some regions, site performance suffered and hardware load balancers could no longer be used—prompting CEO Tim Maliyil to seek a software-based way to improve page load times and user experience.
AlertBoot deployed Riverbed’s Stingray Traffic Manager 9.0 with Aptimizer web content optimization, a software ADC that compresses and caches content, reduces round trips, and optimizes third-party assets. The result was a simple, fast deployment and dramatic gains: 50–55% faster page loads, roughly 50% less data sent, and consistently improved user experience across portals and devices, with plans to extend the solution to backend systems and regions not well served by the CDN.
