Riverbed Technologies announces and have updated their web site with the next evolution of the Steelhead Appliance the 50 Series. Riverbed has gone to a more upgradable appliance for customers within the offices sizes. These are separated by small, mid and large size offices, these would be the 250, 550, 1050 and 2050 series steelheads. Within each series you can go with a low, medium or high configuration depending on your needs.
The older models are still available and the 3xxx-6xxx models are still used for larger customers.
What do you think of this move by Riverbed? Are they trying to stay ahead of the game with the CiscoMicrosoft Server coming out?
We wanted to do a nice full story with comments from Riverbed, but they would not comment on the new appliances. Maybe down the line we will get comments from Riverbed on this story.
