45 Experts' View Leading SMEs of India 2021 business operations is what differentiates Riverbed from our peers. Over the years, we are trusted by 96 per cent of the Fortune 100 and 83 per cent of the Forbes 500, Riverbed is the only company that addresses modern IT challenges holistically, empowering organizations to advance in a digital-first, work-from-anywhere, hybrid cloud world. We have over 300 technology patents and we’ve been recognised 15 times as a leader in Gartner Magic Quadrants (MQs) for Network Performance Monitoring and Diagnostics (NPMD) and WAN Optimization. Riverbed is the only vendor positioned as a strong performer in Forrester’s Wave for End-User Experience Management as well as a Challenger in Gartner’s MQ for APM. What role has technology / digital transformation played in transforming your organization? At a time of intense focus on accelerating digital transformation and reimagining the workplace, IT teams are struggling to keep digital services accessible, performant and secure for all end users. They lack visibility and control over a digital ecosystem made more complex with hybrid workforces, hybrid networks, cloud resources, and large volumes of data and alerts. Monitoring tools that sample data leave significant blind spots and siloed systems provide little context or actionable insights for business stakeholders. Yet, the demand for seamless digital experiences across distributed environments has never been higher—and the onus is on IT to deliver. Today, we provide actionable insights and performance solutions that inform, accelerate and protect the digital enterprise. Our unified visibility solutions capture every single transaction, without sampling, and transform full-fidelity DEM and NPM data into actionable insights for more effective decision-making and faster MTTR. And with market-leading acceleration technologies that ensure fast and reliable delivery of any application over any network, end users get the seamless digital experience they expect. What has been the success mantra of your company? Our customer obsession. We are focused on improving the performance of applications end-to- end – from the end user device, through the various networks and the computer platforms. We want to provide customers in India with the best visibility that Riverbed’s technology and creativity can deliver. OUR VISION is to deliver actionable insights that extend from your application through your network all the way to the customer to protect and extract the value behind every click. We provide organisations with actionable insights that transform IT operators into technology leaders enabling them to drive value for the business by delivering: • Frictionless performance • Increased productivity and efficiency, and • Seamless business continuity. We help our customers prepare for a new horizon that is hybrid and all about digital experience and performance. What is your company’s growth strategy for next 3-5 years? We recently made a strategic decision to bring more closely together the best- in-breed assets of Riverbed and Aternity (previously a division of Riverbed) to bring to our customers the most comprehensive end-to-end visibility solution in the industry. This is powerful and brings together full-fidelity visibility that will enable us to deliver unified observability of an organisation’s entire digital ecosystem, including applications, network, servers, cloud, & edge devices. Extending the power of visibility and security into providing a deeper understanding of how the network performance and applicationperformance can be accelerated through proactive problem mitigation is key to businesses investing in technologies from Riverbed in the coming years.
