Golder Associates wanted to create a new, centralized Intranet, but was concerned about the performance of this system when accessed over the WAN. Upon review, Golder deployed the Riverbed Steelhead appliance solution not only because of its superior application acceleration, but also because of its easy integration with Golder’s existing Cisco-based network. Additionally, Golder beta-tested Steelhead Mobile for use with its mobile workforce, and found it significantly improved performance.
