Riverbed Highlights Customer GHD’s Success in Powering a Cloud-First Digital Transformation with SD-WAN and Cloud-Based Security at Open Networking User Group (ONUG) Fall 2018 Conference
Company to showcase Digital Experience Management and Next-Generation Infrastructure solutions
Riverbed®, The Digital Performance Company, will showcase a set of digital experience management and next-generation infrastructure – cloud networking and edge – solutions at the ONUG Fall 2018 conference in New York City on October 22-23. At the conference, attendees can hear from one of the world’s largest professional services companies, GHD, as they share the company’s success in powering a cloud-first digital transformation with SD-WAN and cloud-based security. In addition, Riverbed will demonstrate to attendees how they can maximize digital performance for greater productivity, faster time-to-market, improved customer experiences and better financial results.
Companies today must move quickly to meet evolving business needs, but also ensure intellectual property remains protected. Balancing these two critical requirements—agility and security—is nearly impossible using legacy networking and security approaches. What’s needed instead is a cloud-centric and agile approach enabled by SD-WAN and cloud security.
On Tuesday, October 23, attendees will learn how GHD is leveraging Riverbed SD-WAN and the Zscaler Cloud Security Platform to streamline its networking and security functions. With Riverbed, GHD rapidly provisioned and connected 50 new sites in just four weeks. And, with Zscaler cloud security, GHD is providing advanced protection for GHD employees, regardless of their location. As a result, GHD is driving stronger collaboration amongst its global project teams and anticipates annual cost savings of USD 1 million—all while simplifying operations, increasing business agility, and delivering secure, optimized experiences for all users. GHD is one of the world’s leading professional services companies, providing engineering, architecture, environmental and construction services in global markets of water, energy and resources, environment, property and buildings, and transportation.
What:
In today’s digital era, organizations across the globe are seeking to deliver successful digital experiences for their customers, partners and employees in order to gain a competitive advantage. According to IDC, global capital expenditure for investment in digital services is expected to reach US $2.1 trillion by 2021.[1] However, the majority of these businesses are struggling to turn their digital strategies into real success. In fact, according to a recent Riverbed survey, 80% of business decision makers say critical digital services are failing several times each month. To address these challenges, Riverbed is delivering digital experience management (to measure and manage the user’s digital experience) and next-generation infrastructure solutions – from the edge, data center to cloud – to help organizations digitally transform their business.
Attendees of the show will have the opportunity to dive into Riverbed solutions, as Riverbed product experts demonstrate how to:
- Get a complete view of performance and the digital experience across clouds, networks, applications and users;
- Simplify cloud networking with SD-WAN for greater speed and agility;
- Improve the security of edge data with Riverbed-patented technology
Riverbed will be providing an online demonstration of how to monitor, troubleshoot and analyze end user experience and application performance along with integrated troubleshooting of application back-end issues. Solutions that will be used to demonstrate this capability include SteelCentral Aternity (EUE) and AppInternals (APM).
