Case Study: Interplex achieves over 50% bandwidth reduction and accelerated app performance with Riverbed

Interplex - Customer Case Study

Interplex, a global precision engineering and manufacturing company with 40 plants across Europe, APAC and the U.S., had driven productivity with robotics and automation but ran into severe IT limits: rising bandwidth costs, poor application performance (users reported extreme delays on SharePoint and slow barcode scans), and limited network visibility across remote sites. These issues slowed rollouts, frustrated employees, and made troubleshooting slow and inefficient.

Interplex deployed Riverbed SteelHead (across 13 sites), SteelCentral for end-to-end application and network visibility, and Riverbed Professional Services. The solution delivered ROI in 2.5 weeks, cut bandwidth consumption by more than 50% (e.g., Hangzhou from 10MB to 4MB), reduced barcode scan time from 10 to 3 seconds, slashed mean-time-to-resolution from days to hours, and enabled faster, more reliable rollouts and future cloud and automation initiatives.
