About Riverbed cloud services
The Riverbed cloud services system consists of these components:
• Cloud Portal—A web portal hosted and managed by Riverbed. The Cloud Portal manages licensing, deployment, and discovery of your Cloud Accelerator virtual appliances.
• Cloud Accelerator—Software form factor of SteelHead that is purpose-built for compatibility with a variety of IaaS vendors.
• Discovery Agent—Software that can be installed in the cloud where your accelerated applications are hosted. The Discovery Agent assists client-side SteelHead appliances in locating peer Cloud Accelerator appliances on the server side. It also provides failure detection and load balancing.
The Cloud Portal uses elastic scaling technology. As a result, the portal is not always served from a static IP address. Ensure that all appliances that you want to communicate with the Cloud Portal are configured to use DNS and hostnames for the portal.
