Case Study: Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer achieves LAN-like performance and 400% bandwidth boost with Riverbed Steelhead appliances
A Riverbed Case Study
Riverbed Improves Productivity, Collaboration and Network Management Across Legal Firms Worldwide Offices
Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer is a leading international law firm with over 2,400 lawyers across 28 offices. The firm struggled with WAN latency and saturated links—especially to Asia—causing slow application and document performance that hurt lawyer productivity.
Freshfields deployed 32 preconfigured Riverbed Steelhead appliances worldwide (rollout completed in five weeks), which eliminated latency, boosted effective bandwidth by ~400%, and delivered up to 10x faster document downloads (a 2 MB file went from 210 seconds to 3 seconds). Centralized management simplified IT administration and opened the door to infrastructure consolidation.
