SteelFusion radically improves branch economics
by fusing servers, storage, virtualization and networking into a
single solution speeding provisioning by up to 30x and recovery by
up to 96x
Riverbed Technology (NASDAQ: RVBD), the leader in application
performance infrastructure, today announced Riverbed
SteelFusion™ 3.0 (formerly known as Riverbed Granite), the
first branch converged infrastructure that centralizes data in the
datacenter and delivers local performance and nearly instant
recovery at the branch. SteelFusion fuses branch servers, storage,
networking, and virtualization infrastructure into a single
solution that, as measured by Taneja Group, reduces the average
time to provision branch services by 30x (from five hours to ten
minutes) and recovery from branch outages by 96x (from 24 hours to
15 minutes)1. With SteelFusion 3.0, Riverbed raises the bar with
even faster branch recovery, higher data capacity, and faster
performance.

The typical datacenter serves 55 branches2 and only eight
percent of these branches have fully consolidated IT
infrastructure3. As a result, according to IDC, more than $4
billion is being spent on remote office infrastructure and
maintenance every year. All of the islands of distributed branch
infrastructure have been necessary to meet local performance and
reliability needs to ensure the productivity of employees working
in branch offices; however, they are costly and inefficient to
manage. In addition, companies rarely have the expertise in
branches to maintain and protect data in such distributed
infrastructure, and when branch offices suffer outages due to
natural or manmade disasters, employee productivity and data are
compromised and company revenue is impacted.

Riverbed pioneered the branch converged infrastructure market to
address these problems by launching Riverbed Granite, now called
Riverbed SteelFusion. To date, the solution is helping customers
centralize and protect an estimated 47 petabytes of branch data in
their datacenter and consolidate an estimated 87,000 branch
servers. SteelFusion has been named InfoWorld Technology of the
Year for two straight years.
“With more and more branches and data, organizations are
struggling with the cost and inefficiency of managing islands of
infrastructure – servers, apps and storage – outside the
datacenter. Riverbed developed the first solution that delivers all
the benefits of converged infrastructure found in the datacenter,
such as performance, security, scalability, better disaster
recovery, and manageability, but optimized for the unique
requirements of the branch,” said John Martin, Senior Vice
President and General Manager, Storage Delivery at Riverbed. “With
SteelFusion, Riverbed has completely changed the game with branch
IT infrastructure. Businesses get the best of both worlds:
centralizing data to eliminate branch downtime, improve data
security, and lower TCO while still delivering local access to apps
and data for branch workers.”
“SteelFusion is a no-brainer because as an IT leader you want
simplified infrastructure and all of your data, servers, and
virtual machines in the core datacenter,” said Mike Rinken, senior
associate and director of IT at Mazzetti, a full-service consulting
and building design firm. “With Riverbed I no longer need separate
physical infrastructure at my branches for file, and application
servers. All that now rolls onto a single SteelFusion branch
converged infrastructure appliance.”
With the SteelFusion 3.0 release, Riverbed delivers:
- 6x performance gain in the branch
with a new high-end appliance. With a 6x performance gain over
the previous high-end SteelFusion appliance, the new SteelFusion
1360P appliance ensures users get faster, local performance for
storage-intensive workloads like Virtual Desktop Infrastructure
(VDI) and CAD/CAM applications.
- 3x increase in data-capacity at the
datacenter with a new higher capacity controller appliance.
Higher capacity on the storage delivery controller, the SteelFusion
Core 3000, means storage admins can now support up to 100TB
consolidated data, a 3x improvement over the previous high of 35TB
supported. This enables scalability for global enterprise companies
looking to consolidate their data and applications.
- Enhanced recovery innovation. A
new predictive pre-fetch capability on the converged appliance, the
Branch Recovery Agent further reduces recovery time from major
outages. This ensures employees can remain productive with constant
access to applications and data, despite major disasters.
- Simplified operations. Server,
virtualization, and backup administrators will see an improved
scale-out architecture with pooled management of storage delivery
controllers. A new recovery agent for the converged appliance makes
it simpler and faster for administrators to recover a branch from a
major outage.
- Even better NetApp and EMC
integration. Support for NetApp cluster mode and EMC VNX2
snapshots continue seamless integration advancements to ensure
SteelFusion integrates seamlessly with data center SAN
infrastructure to provide backup consolidation.
“With the new release we’re excited to be able to expand our
deployment. SteelFusion 3.0 will scale to meet the application and
user needs at our largest site, Mazzetti headquarters,” said
Rinken. “Also, with the new SteelFusion Branch Recovery Agent, we
can intelligently pre-cache and pre-warm files and data that users
access. Users will never feel the impact of an outage. They will
just be able to continue working as if nothing had ever
happened.”
Riverbed SteelFusion is a branch converged infrastructure
solution that centralizes data in the datacenter and delivers local
performance and nearly instant recovery at the branch. SteelFusion
consolidates branch servers, storage, networking and virtualization
infrastructure into a single solution. SteelFusion expedites branch
office provisioning, backup and recovery and ensures continuous
operations when disasters occur from any cause – weather, fire or
accident. With SteelFusion, businesses can restore branch
operations in a matter of minutes vs. days, centrally protect and
secure data in the datacenter and significantly lower the TCO of
branch and remote offices.
Riverbed SteelFusion is part of the Riverbed Application
Performance Platform™, the most complete platform for
location-independent computing that gives companies the flexibility
to host applications and data in the locations that best serve the
business while ensuring flawless application delivery to better
leverage global resources, radically reduce the cost of running
their business and maximize employee productivity.
Availability
SteelFusion 3.0 is expected to be generally available in early
May.
