During Ignite, Riverbed will preview several new Microsoft product enhancements:

  • Seamless integration between Riverbed's SteelConnect SD-WAN and Microsoft Azure Virtual WAN with local branch path steering for Microsoft Office 365: Through Riverbed's SD-WAN solution SteelConnect, customers will now be able to automate local branch path steering for Microsoft Office 365 via conventional Internet broadband. SteelConnect can also be used to connect to Microsoft Azure Virtual WAN, a global network backbone for managed site-to-site and branch-to-Azure connectivity.
  • Riverbed SteelFusion now Supports Hyper-V: Riverbed SteelFusion has extended its offering for Microsoft Hyper-V customers, further expanding on its ability to provide enterprises with flexible and secure architectures for the edge of the network.

Organizations worldwide are seeking a competitive edge and are focusing on modernizing their business and delivering a superior digital experience and performance that sets them apart. According to IDC (News - Alert), global capital expenditure for investment in digital services is expected to reach US $2.1 trillion by 2021.1 However, the majority of organizations remain in a digital deadlock - unable to turn their digital strategies into real digital success. According to a recent Riverbed survey, there is a major performance gap that exists due to poor visibility into the user's digital experience, budget pressures and legacy network infrastructure that were not designed to support modern technologies. In fact, in the survey, 80% of business decision makers say critical digital services are failing several times each month. To address these challenges, Riverbed is delivering digital experience management (to measure and manage the user's digital experience) and next-generation infrastructure solutions - from the edge, data center to cloud - to help organizations maximize digital performance to enable greater productivity, faster time-to-market, improved customer experiences, and better financial results.

What:

During Microsoft Ignite 2018, Riverbed technologists will provide live demonstrations of the following solutions:

  • Simplify Azure networking with SD-WAN so you can move with speed and agility: Redefine the network from cloud to edge with a solution that greatly simplifies connectivity and management. Riverbed's SD-WAN solution can help organizations increase operational agility to rapidly deliver new digital services or open new business locations in days versus weeks with features like one-click connectivity to Microsoft Azure.
  • Accelerate Office 365 and Azure-based applications for excellent user experiences: Riverbed helps organizations deliver the best digital experience to the end users of Office 365 and Azure-based applications by improving visibility and application performance. Riverbed enables businesses to get to the root of performance issues quickly, automatically steer the traffic of priority applications down the best paths, and improve performance when latency is high or bandwidth is constrained.
  • Get a complete view of performance across clouds, networks, applications and users: An end-to-end view of the digital experience is essential to consistently deliver high-performing digital services. Riverbed provides a holistic approach to digital experience management with unified monitoring, giving businesses the ability to identify and resolve issues quickly-before end users and the business are impacted.
  • Modernize Edge IT for better performance and security: Digital transformation often begins at the edge-branch offices, remote sites, and retail stores. Riverbed improves performance and security with integrated cloud and edge networking, high-performance compute, and intelligent storage caching that safeguards edge data in Microsoft Azure. This solution dramatically reduces IT costs and complexity while delivering excellent performance to users at the edge.

In addition to technology demos, Riverbed experts will give booth presentations throughout the day. Ignite attendees who view a demo or booth presentation will receive a free Riverbed t-shirt. Visitors to the booth will also have an opportunity to enter the #RethinkPossible social media contest to win a pair of custom Converse Chuck Taylor high top shoes.

Today, companies are investing heavily in developing new digital services to gain a competitive edge. The success or failure of these companies is tied to how well IT can deliver these services with an exceptional user experience. IT leaders need to ask themselves, in an increasingly complex technology landscape with a greater need for agility, are they equipped to deliver digital services with the best possible user experience?

In the session attendees will learn about solutions for Microsoft Azure and Office 365 that simplify networking, modernize edge IT, and help manage the digital experience.
