SOLUTION BRIEF

Riverbed® and Video StreamingRiverbed Reduces Bandwidth Utilization for Video StreamingAs employees become more distributed, communicating and collaborating effectively continues to challenge many businesses. With Riverbed’s RiOS Services Platform (RSP) and video streaming capability, organizations can leverage video capability for employee training, information updates, and senior management communications. Through partnerships with Wowza Media and Qumu, the RSP offers a comprehensive video streaming platform for Flash® media and a centralized content capture and management system through Qumu Video Control Center.

The RSP runs Wowza Media Server™ in a protected partition on Steelhead® appliances, so IT can easily deploy and manage the software without the need for additional hardware in remote offices.

The end result is greatly reduced bandwidth utilization to help companies save costs.
