Case Study: Dudek achieves faster application performance and 60–80% WAN traffic reduction with Riverbed Application Performance Platform

Riverbed Application Performance Platform Powers California Environmental Firm’s Efficient Growth as a Peak-Performing Hybrid Enterprise

Dudek & Associates is a California environmental firm with 300+ planners, scientists and engineers spread across a dozen offices and many remote jobsites. Rapid growth exposed collaboration problems: large project files, limited bandwidth and long distances caused slow access to Outlook, AutoCAD, SQL databases and file shares, version-control headaches, and difficulty supporting mobile and newly acquired teams.

Dudek deployed the Riverbed Application Performance Platform—SteelHead appliances (physical and virtual), SteelHead Mobile and SteelFusion—to centralize apps and accelerate file transfers. The solution delivered fast, consistent application performance for office and remote users, streamlined collaboration, assisted with an acquisition, cut WAN traffic 60–80% (up to 95% for some data), and paid for itself more than twice over within a year.
