Case Study: Devon & Cornwall Police improves network performance with Teneo and Riverbed SteelHead

Devon & Cornwall Police - Customer Case Study

Devon & Cornwall Police, a UK police force covering a large geographical area, faced significant challenges in providing a robust and high-performance network to its many remote and rural police stations. The cost of installing new fibre optic links was prohibitively expensive and slow, while the existing ADSL connections resulted in poor performance, frustrating officers who needed fast access to critical applications. They engaged WAN optimization specialist Teneo to help improve the end-user experience and reduce the need for costly bandwidth upgrades.

Teneo implemented a solution using Riverbed SteelHead appliances, which optimized data traffic across the network. This deployment achieved a 70% reduction in data traffic, which dramatically improved application performance and eliminated user frustration. The solution provided Devon & Cornwall Police with a cost-effective alternative to expensive network infrastructure projects, while also enhancing data security and offering the flexibility to redeploy the appliances as needed.
