Riverbed Steelhead® Appliances Enable a Consolidation Strategy for Consumer Electronics Maufacturer
Packard Bell launched its European operations in the Netherlands, where the datacenter still hosts all the company’s corporate applications (sales management, marketing, procurement, finance, production, data warehouse, EDI, etc.). These historically centralized IT operations, however, have not kept Packard Bell from developing a distributed architecture in step with its geographic expansion during the 1990s. Thus, although the datacenter hosts most of the group’s servers (application, database, file and service servers, etc.), 34 additional servers have been set up at the company’s 14 geographically-distributed sites (file, print, e-mail, domain controller and local application servers). All servers communicate using an Infonet MPLS-based WAN.

Riverbed Steelhead® Appliances Improve Employee Productivity by Accelerating File Sharing between Distributed Offices
