Case Study: Marvell achieves LAN-like remote access, 60x faster Windows file sharing and 80% WAN bandwidth reduction with Riverbed SteelHead appliances

Riverbed Steelhead Appliances Accelerate Applications and Improve Collaboration Between Offices

Marvell, a global semiconductor provider, faced growing collaboration problems as it expanded worldwide: Windows file sharing and web applications were painfully slow, remote and traveling employees experienced poor access to headquarters’ servers over high-latency links, and IT needed faster file access, accelerated web and Exchange performance, high-performance VPNs, and reduced WAN usage.

Marvell deployed Riverbed Steelhead appliances at four sites across the U.S., the Middle East, and Asia, which delivered LAN-like performance—up to 60× faster Windows file throughput—and cut WAN bandwidth use by about 80%, enabling employees to share data and access remote resources quickly and reliably.
