Integrated traffic management and application
firewall optimizes application delivery and simplifies Payment Card
Industry (PCI) compliance for small-to-mid businesses
Riverbed Technology (NASDAQ: RVBD), the leader in application
performance infrastructure, today announced Fusebill is using
Riverbed® SteelAppTM products to cost-effectively grow its
cloud-based business with just-in-time provisioning to handle
spikes in demand of its services. SteelApp Traffic Manager and
SteelApp Firewall (formerly Stingray) are part of Riverbed’s #1
virtual application delivery controller (ADC) for scalable, secure
and elastic delivery of enterprise, cloud and e-commerce
applications. SteelApp’s just-in-time elastic scalability helps
Fusebill protect applications from security threats, simplify
Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance and reduce costs by using
software to scale vs. overprovisioning data center hardware which
often sits unused while consuming power and space.

Fusebill automates invoicing, billing and collections for
subscription-based companies across many industry sectors including
software as a service, digital media and communications. Traffic on
Fusebill’s site peaks at the beginning of the month when most of
Fusebill’s customers want bills and invoices sent out. Fusebill
needed to build up enough infrastructure to handle
first-of-the-month activities without having too many assets
sitting idle the rest of the time.
Fusebill initially used another load balancing service to
distribute traffic across the computing resources, but eventually
needed capabilities such as scripting and Layer 7 support that
weren’t available in their previous deployment. Furthermore, since
Fusebill accepts credit card payments, the company is subject to
Payment Card Industry (PCI) regulations. One regulation requires a
Web application firewall, which was also unavailable through
NLBS.
When Fusebill made the decision to upgrade to an integrated
solution with both web application firewall and advanced traffic
management functionality, Greg Burwell, vice president of
technology at Fusebill, evaluated products from Citrix and F5, as
well as Riverbed SteelApp Traffic Manager. In addition to
functionality and ease of use, price was a key consideration.
Riverbed’s unique approach automates the deployment, licensing and
metering of application delivery services, making possible an “ADC
per application” delivery model in which isolated resources and
costs for ADC-as-a-Service can be allocated to each client
application. This unique approach reduces costs and time to
production while enabling rapid change and scale for data center
applications.
“SteelApp has all the traffic management functionality and
integrated web application firewall we need at a price point that
is friendly for smaller to mid-sized companies,” said Burwell.
“SteelApp saves us money by eliminating the need to overprovision
the infrastructure for the traffic peaks at the beginning of the
month. Our operation here is completely virtualized. SteelApp lets
us get around some of the physical and logical separations in the
environment so that we use our hardware more optimally than we did
previously. Also, having a web application firewall from Riverbed,
a recognized vendor, ensures that we meet PCI compliance. I’m
typically cautious about referring people to vendors, but Riverbed
is one of a select few that I will refer people to.”
SteelApp was in place at Fusebill when the Heartbleed bug
surfaced. “The second I heard about it, I was on the phone or
shooting emails to a lot of our vendors,” said Stephen Keeler, IT
manager at Fusebill. “Riverbed was the first to respond – about
five minutes after I contacted them. They had a huge knowledge base
about products affected by OpenSSL vulnerability, and that gave me
great peace of mind.”
