Riverbed offers several of its products in virtual form factors. Virtual products are easily deployed and make more efficient use of compute resources. If your enterprise has a virtualization environment, these products can help you manage and accelerate application performance across the platform and your network.

Our virtual products are software that run on virtual machines. Virtual machines run on hypervisors, which in turn run on physical hardware. Before using a virtual product from Riverbed, ensure that you understand its requirements and that your virtualization environment can supply the necessary resources. Our virtual products are compatible with many virtualization platforms, and their requirements and setup can differ depending on the environment where you’ll be using them. To ensure successful deployment and operation, take time to understand the requirements, limitations, and best practices for the product and its target virtualization platform.
