Cloud Accelerator
You configure cloud acceleration service for Software as a Service (SaaS) applications, such as Office365 and Salesforce.com in the Cloud Accelerator page. The Cloud Accelerator combines the Riverbed WAN optimization technology (RiOS) with the Akamai Internet route optimization technology (SureRoute) for accelerating SaaS application performance.

• NTP (Network Time Protocol) - Configure and enable NTP and ensure that the NTP server(s) is accessible.
Under Registration Control, specify the company registration key that you obtained from the Riverbed Cloud Portal and click Register. The appliance registers with the Riverbed Cloud Portal.
