Case Study: Shelf Drilling streamlines rig operations with Riverbed

Shelf Drilling reduces intranet traffic by up to 95% with Riverbed

Shelf Drilling, a shallow water offshore drilling contractor, faced challenges in improving application performance for its 3,000 employees across 30 remote rigs connected via low-bandwidth satellite links. To optimize its apps and support its virtualization initiatives, the company turned to Riverbed for a solution.

Riverbed implemented its SteelHead and SteelHead SaaS solutions to maximize network and application performance. The results were significant, with Riverbed reducing intranet traffic by up to 95% and accelerating core applications by up to 80%. This safeguarded business continuity, streamlined rig operations, and greatly improved the user experience.
