IT groups at leading companies are constantly confronted with an uphill battle: do more with less and do it faster. To gain efficiency, many organizations have consolidated IT to better leverage their resources, yet still struggle to manage their distributed environments effectively. In addition, IT managers remain unable to fully consolidate specific local services and applications from remote offices.

Some vendors have responded with pseudo “integrated” appliances or platforms that offer a number of features in one chassis, but the result is often mediocre functionality and performance. Riverbed’s newly announced RiOS Services Platform (RSP) provides customers with the capability of running best-of-breed services and applications on a Steelhead appliance in a protected partition. The RSP thus allows IT managers to consolidate their branch office infrastructure even further and simplify their operations.

This webinar, sponsored by Riverbed, will feature Zeus Kerravala, Sr. Vice President of Enterprise Research with the Yankee Group and will discuss industry challenges and trends around effective remote office management. The Webinar will also cover the newly announced RSP and how organizations can leverage this development platform.

Attendees of this Webinar will learn about:
- Management challenges for the remote office and technologies that can help
- Consolidating key local services from the branch office to minimize the hardware infrastructure footprint
- The revolutionary RiOS Services Platform (RSP) on Steelhead appliances and how it can help your organization.
