Riverbed Technology has introduced two new virtual editions to the Riverbed Cascade product family that enable managed service providers (MSPs) to deliver application-aware network performance management (NPM) as a service to their small-to-medium-sized and enterprise customers.
The new Cascade Profiler Virtual Edition and Cascade Gateway Virtual Edition plus the existing Cascade Shark Virtual Edition provide a completely virtualized NPM solution portfolio that allows MSPs to deliver continued value in a virtualized world with the next-generation of performance management.
Riverbed also announced today Cascade 10.0, the first and only application-aware NPM solution to address network and application performance issues across the three key pillars of virtualization – virtualized desktop infrastructure (VDI), server virtualization, and software-defined networks (SDNs). This industry-leading breadth of coverage for virtualized environments ensures that MSPs can provide performance management to their customers, regardless of location – in remote or non-traditional sites, or the infrastructure they have – physical, partially virtualized, or fully virtualized environments.
“The new virtual editions of Riverbed Cascade products provide an easy-to-deploy solution for MSPs to quickly provision performance monitoring services for customers wherever they are required, even in remote or non-traditional sites,” said Randy Schirman, senior vice president of worldwide channel sales at Riverbed.
