For some companies, it is a priority to ensure adequate performance for key applications that require a fixed amount of WAN bandwidth per user.
Popular examples are Citrix and VoIP, both of which can require about 15 kbps of designated bandwidth per user.
By deploying Steelhead appliances on your WAN, you can reduce the bandwidth consumed by your enterprise traffic, by 60 to 95%, which can make room for other bandwidth-intensive applications.
If you have 40 users in a branch office using VOIP, they might require 800 kbps just for VOIP, and perhaps another 750 kbps for other network traffic. If you have a T1 (1.5 Mbps) of bandwidth to that office, then as you add users, you’ll be forced to upgrade that link.
With Riverbed’s Steelhead appliances, you might be able to reduce the other data traffic from 750 kbps to 150 kbps, or even less, which lets you expand without adding bandwidth
