Case Study: BDO Canada achieves rapid office integration, stronger business continuity and enhanced data security with Riverbed SteelFusion

BDO is using Riverbed SteelFusion as a key element of its transformation to a more agile IT environment

BDO Canada LLP, a national professional services firm with 3,500 employees and 125+ offices ranging from major cities to remote communities, needed a more agile IT model to support rapid M&A growth. Local offices had on-site servers with little IT expertise, causing long travel times for fixes, nightly backups that degraded performance, and risks to data security and business continuity in the event of local disasters.

BDO deployed Riverbed SteelFusion (along with SteelHead and SteelCentral NetProfiler) to consolidate edge data into its Toronto data center and optimize WAN performance. The appliance-based rollout is fast and remotely managed, eliminating local servers, improving application performance, replacing slow backups with data center snapshots, reducing IT travel, strengthening data security, and enabling quicker office integrations and resilient business continuity.
