Riverbed was one of the early pioneers of SD-WAN technology, and has since expanded its software-defined business architecture to include the cloud, mobile infrastructure and infrastructure visibility. It touts its SteelConnect SD-WAN technology as application-defined because of its policy-based controls, single-click setup and scalability.
