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.
