The Power of 2 at Gitex

Riverbed Collaborates with Microsoft to Highlight Visibility, Optimization and Control Solutions for IaaS and SaaS Platforms at GITEX 2015

Riverbed will be participating at GITEX 2015, through its technology partner Microsoft, where it will focus on its solutions for Microsoft’s Office 365, SharePoint and Azure platforms.

With Riverbed SteelHead SaaS, organizations can benefit from as much as 33x better application performance for Office 365. For Microsoft SharePoint, Riverbed’s solutions can deliver optimization and visibility across users, network, apps and infrastructure in order to better manage user experience and performance. The collaboration between the vendors has meant that features such as the acceleration of links between offices, partners and customers are available out-of-the-box.

“Riverbed SteelCentral AppInternals can help you see what parts of the code are running slowly, monitor user experience, and verify whether your cloud servers are performing at capacity,” said Taj ElKhayat, Regional Vice President, Middle East and Africa at Riverbed Technology.

A key theme therefore for Riverbed at the upcoming edition of GITEX is helping customers leverage the power of its solution for Azure – a process that has been simplified by making Riverbed SteelHead CX subscriptions available on the Microsoft Azure marketplace. “Riverbed customers can do this with their existing licenses and it is an easy and efficient way to scale deployments in less time and effort,” said Michael Mansour, Head of Apps and Innovation, Microsoft Gulf.
