Case Study: Jarden Corporation achieves real-time global network visibility and faster root-cause resolution with Riverbed AppResponse Xpert

Jarden Corporation - Customer Case Study

Jarden Consumer Solutions, a global consumer-products unit with well-known brands like Crock-Pot, Mr. Coffee and First Alert, operates across 10 countries and was expanding its hybrid network after an acquisition. IT faced growing complexity—28 sites becoming 36—and struggled with slow, device-centric monitoring tools that couldn’t provide real-time or application-level visibility, making it hard to pinpoint performance problems.

To fix this, Jarden deployed Riverbed AppResponse Xpert appliances in its two main data centers, using flow-based analytics to avoid probes at every remote site and to get fast, actionable data. The solution delivered real-time and historical views, deep drilldowns by business group and IP conversation, much faster problem localization and resolution, smoother network consolidation after acquisitions, and better leverage of existing tools.
