Steelhead appliances come in a range of sizes to ensure that each of your offices has a properly sized acceleration appliance. With this range of sizes, you can simultaneously ensure that the appliance provides room for office growth, yet still ensures that you achieve a quick return on investment.
Our Steelhead 250 series is meant for offices with just a few people; our 6050-series appliances can meet the needs of offices with over a thousand users, or many thousands with Riverbed's clustering capabilities.
