Overview of SteelHead SaaS
This chapter provides an overview of SteelHead SaaS software. It includes these sections:
•  About SteelHead SaaS
•  System components
•  Deployment configurations
•  Supported SaaS providers
•  SteelHead SaaS licensing
•  SteelHead SaaS connection and bandwidth limits
•  Compatibility with SteelHead models
Note: RiOS 9.8 adds SteelHead support for SaaS optimization through SteelConnect and the existing SaaS accelerator (using Akamai and described in this guide) has been renamed from SteelHead Cloud Accelerator to Legacy Cloud Accelerator. The SaaS Accelerator through SteelConnect replaces the Legacy Cloud Accelerator and provides a Riverbed end-to-end solution with simplified deployment and certificate management, however, the full functionality depends on a future release of SteelConnect Manager. See this Knowledge Base article for the compatibility information:
