Riverbed is the pioneer and worldwide leader in WDS, with over 2,500 global customers. The company's products are the first comprehensive solution for the mobile worker, remote office and data center that solve a host of performance problems that prevent enterprises from effectively sharing applications and data among offices and employees located outside of headquarters.

Riverbed's award-winning Steelhead WDS products address all of the issues that affect application performance over the WAN, improving the throughput of applications enterprises rely on every day - including file sharing, email, backup, document management systems, and IT tools, as well as ERP and CRM solutions. Riverbed can make any of these applications run five, 50, or even 100 times faster. With the addition of Steelhead Mobile in July 2007, the company can now deliver LAN-like performance for mobile workers and very small offices.
