A Riverbed Case Study
Banca Woolwich, the Barclays mortgage brand operating in Italy, needed to upgrade its IT infrastructure to support critical banking applications and a planned server-farm migration. IT required a non‑invasive, end‑to‑end way to monitor network and application performance, understand the business impact of problems, and gain historical data for trending and capacity planning to improve communication between technical and business teams.
Selesta implemented a Riverbed AppResponse Xpert appliance in the primary data center (connected to SPAN ports on the LAN backbone), delivering real‑time and historical reporting across 60+ metrics. The solution gave the bank deep, transparent insight into network and application performance, enabled proactive diagnostics and precise capacity planning, and allowed IT to quantify the business benefits of infrastructure changes while improving dialogue with business units.
