Riverbed Technology, Inc. Reduces Costs and Scales WDS Management With Oracle Berkeley DB

Overview

Riverbed Technology wanted to collect and store application and network performance data from Steelhead WDS appliances deployed at remote sites into the Steelhead Central Management Console (CMC) and collect and store application and network performance data from Steelhead Mobile software deployed to mobile users into the Steelhead Mobile Controller (SMC). The challenge was to scale the CMC and SMC's data collection to support thousands of remote sites accumulating data over time periods ranging from five minutes to years and minimize administrative overhead and cost for customers. Riverbed Technology embedded Oracle Berkeley DB in Riverbed's CMC and SMC to make it easier for customers to manage by avoiding the administrative burden and costs associated with a separate database.
