Case Study: LNJ Bhilwara Group improves remote application performance with Riverbed SteelHead

LNJ Bhilwara Group speeds application performance 10x with Riverbed

LNJ Bhilwara Group, a major manufacturing conglomerate, faced severe application performance issues after centralizing its IT infrastructure. The move to a single datacenter caused applications like Lotus Notes and a textile-specific ERP to become unacceptably slow for remote users, crippling productivity across its finance and manufacturing operations. To address this challenge, the company turned to Riverbed for a solution.

Riverbed implemented its SteelHead appliances in the central datacenter and at ten remote manufacturing facilities. This solution dramatically accelerated application performance, with file transfers and emails becoming up to 10 times faster. The measurable business impact was significant: preparing monthly account balances became 60% faster, inventory management was improved, and real-time credit checking was enabled. Riverbed's technology not only resolved the performance issues but also delivered a return on investment within 7 to 12 months.
