SteelHead

SteelHead is a data optimization technology developed by Riverbed that improves the speed and efficiency of data transfer across wide area networks (WANs). It works by compressing, deduplicating, and accelerating data, ensuring that applications and file sharing happen more quickly, even over long distances or when network conditions are poor. This reduces latency and bandwidth consumption, enhancing user experience and productivity. SteelHead is commonly used by organizations to optimize remote and branch office connectivity to central data centers or cloud services, ensuring smooth and fast access to critical applications and information.
