Riverbed Stingray Traffic Manager
Deliver Fast, Secure, and Available Applications
Riverbed® Stingray™ Traffic Manager frees applications from the constraints of proprietary, hardware-based application delivery controllers (ADCs), enabling them to run in any physical, virtual, or cloud environment, and to migrate and scale on demand. Stingray Traffic Manager, which is one of the fastest software-based ADCs on the market, is used by seven of the top 10 global telecommunications providers, and also powers some of the most popular sites on the web, including Whitepages.com, Gilt Groupe, Domino's Pizza, and the BBC.
How Stingray Traffic Manager Works
How Stingray Traffic Manager Works
Stingray Traffic Manager manages a wide range of network-delivered applications. Core load balancing, session persistence, and SSL decryption technology enable administrators to rapidly scale applications for improved capacity and availability. Advanced traffic optimization technology further improves performance and the end-user experience. All of the capabilities may be controlled by the Stingray TrafficScript language, which
enables the application delivery that is in compliance with business and regulatory policies.
Stingray TrafficScript also addresses a wide range of application performance, security, and functionality concerns.
Stingray Traffic Manager Features
Despite increasing traffic loads, rapid change, and complex deployment infrastructures, online applications are still expected to deliver consistently excellent service levels. Stingray traffic management solutions provide complete control over user traffic, allowing administrators to accelerate, optimize, and secure key business applications. Now it’s possible to deliver these services more quickly and ensure the best possible performance across any deployment platform.
Application delivery controllers accelerate transactions, maximize availability, manage security policies, and provide a point of control to monitor and manage application traffic. Stingray Traffic Manager is a software-based ADC that provides unprecedented scale and flexibility to deliver applications across the widest range of environments, from physical and virtual data centers to public and hybrid clouds.

Stingray Traffic Manager Benefits Include:
Speed: Accelerate services, increase capacity, and reduce costs by offloading performance-draining tasks such as SSL and compression onto Stingray Traffic Manager’s optimized implementations. Cache commonly requested content and optimize traffic delivery to applications so they’ll run as fast as they would in a perfect benchmark environment.
Reliability: Improve application availability by intelligently distributing traffic, avoiding failed or degraded servers, monitoring performance problems, and shaping traffic spikes.
Improved security: Stingray Traffic Manager operates as a deny-all gateway, only admitting traffic types it has been configured to admit. This provides full control over how traffic is internally routed. High-performance inspection can interrogate any part of a request or response to apply global filtering or scrubbing policies. The Stingray Application Firewall option also protects against a broad range of web application attacks.
Ease of management: Stingray Traffic Manager makes it easy to manage how users interact with applications, and the infrastructure those applications depend on. Use it to shape, prioritize, and route traffic, to drain infrastructure resources prior to maintenance, and to upgrade user sessions across application instances, all while preserving the user experience that business demands.
