About centralized management and autodiscovery
Riverbed simplifies appliance deployment and management through these key methods:
Autodiscovery allows SteelHeads and Client Accelerator to automatically detect and connect with remote counterparts, enabling traffic acceleration without needing manual network configuration. Autodiscovery helps administrators control connections, secure traffic, and choose peers for optimization.
SCC provides centralized configuration and monitoring for multiple SteelHeads. It offers a single view of the overall network performance and health, making management easier. The intuitive interface lets you manage appliances using high-level categories like applications, sites, and networks. With SCC, you can streamline configuration and management tasks, making hybrid networking more efficient at scale.
Client Accelerator Controller monitors the health and performance of each software client installed on endpoints. It also manages licenses and certificates (where applicable). The Client Accelerator Controller helps you track which users are connected, view their data reduction stats, and perform support tasks like resetting connections, pulling logs, and troubleshooting, all without needing user input.
