Riverbed Technology (RVBD)

Enhance and extend our product line

We plan to introduce new models of our current products as well as enhancements to their capabilities in order to address our customers’ size and application requirements. We also plan to introduce new products to extend our market and utilize our technology platform to extend our capabilities.

In August 2007, we began selling our Steelhead Mobile product line, which includes a software client version of our Steelhead appliances, which delivers LAN-like application performance to any employee laptop, whether on the road, working from home or connected wirelessly in the office.

In February 2008, we announced the introduction of the Riverbed Services Platform (RSP), which enables the delivery of virtualized edge services without the need to deploy additional physical servers at remote or branch offices. RSP allows customers to deploy services from an array of vendors on Steelhead appliances in a self-contained partition to minimize the hardware infrastructure footprint at the branch office.

In August 2008, we introduced the 50 series models of our Steelhead appliances. The 50 series models represent the next generation of our Steelhead appliances.

In February 2009, we acquired Mazu Networks, Inc. (“Mazu”). Mazu helps organizations manage, secure and optimize the availability and performance of global applications. The acquisition allows us to meet enterprise and service provider customer demands by extending our suite of WAN optimization products to include global application performance, reporting and analytics with the Cascade product line.
