Case Study: OpenEye achieves rapid, scalable cloud connectivity for its drug-design platform with Riverbed SteelConnect

OpenEye - Customer Case Study

OpenEye Scientific, a provider of molecular modeling and cloud-native drug design tools (including its Orion platform on AWS), needed faster, more scalable network connections as demand for its SaaS offerings grew. Traditional Cisco hardware was too costly to scale and slow to deploy, and internal resources were limited, so connecting customers and global teams to Orion could take weeks to months.

OpenEye deployed Riverbed SteelConnect for AWS, which integrated with its VPCs and was up in under an hour, allowing new network connections in minutes without additional hardware or external support and with pay-as-you-go billing through AWS. The result: far greater IT and business agility, easy global expansion of SaaS offerings, simplified monitoring, and faster, more reliable customer access that helps accelerate drug discovery workflows.
