At Riverbed FORCE 2014, Riverbed Technology launched the Riverbed-Ready Technology Alliance program with 17 charter program members.
The new program offers technology partners the opportunity to bring new capabilities to Riverbed customers, expand the value and impact of Riverbed solutions in specific industries and markets, and help customers master the technical challenges of the hybrid enterprise. By integrating Riverbed products with their own solutions, partners leverage Riverbed’s advanced technologies and market-leading products to enhance their competitive advantage. Partners can assure customers that their Riverbed-Ready solutions are tested, verified, and supported.
The program framework enables partners to extend the Riverbed Application Performance Platform, the most complete platform for analyzing, diagnosing, and resolving application, network, and end-user performance issues anywhere in the hybrid enterprise. Together, Riverbed and its partners are providing end-to-end solutions that provide deep visibility and control to inspect, direct, and protect workloads across the hybrid enterprise. Riverbed-Ready partners will focus in areas such as security, cloud and virtualization, business applications, network performance management, application performance management, networking, and storage. Partners can leverage Riverbed open APIs and additional development tools to help with customization, integration, and automation.
“The new Riverbed-Ready program enhances our ability to offer integrated solutions that create new revenue opportunities for our Riverbed-Ready partners and deliver comprehensive tested and validated solutions to our joint customers,” said Katie Colbert, VP, Global Technology Alliances at Riverbed.
"As a Riverbed-Ready Technology Alliance partner, we have collaborated to develop an integrated solution that provides cost-effective, application-aware network and application performance management, monitoring and visibility for the hybrid enterprise where people, apps and data are everywhere,” said Ed Chapman, vice president of Business Development and Alliances at Arista, a Platinum-level Riverbed-Ready member. “With Arista and Riverbed, customers get a joint-tested solution that works as expected."
Riverbed Application Performance Platform product families include: Riverbed SteelCentral for end-to-end visibility, analytics, and diagnostics across the hybrid enterprise; Riverbed SteelHead to optimize and control application delivery throughout the hybrid enterprise; Riverbed SteelFusion to consolidate branch infrastructure in the data center and optimize delivery of apps/data to branches; and Riverbed SteelApp to optimize application delivery and load balancing in hybrid cloud environments.
Attendees of Riverbed FORCE 2014 can meet many of the partners at the center of the Riverbed Application Performance Platform ecosystem in person by visiting the Riverbed-Ready Partner Pavilion, which will include 20 leading technology partners with technology and location-independent computing solutions for hybrid enterprises.
