McAfee and IT firm Riverbed Technology have announced a partnership that delivers a comprehensive security and wide area network (WAN) optimization solution for organizations with remote offices.
The one box solution will include virtual McAfee Firewall Enterprise software running on the Riverbed Steelhead appliance, which will allow enterprises to deliver accelerated data and application access to users while protecting information and infrastructure from security threats.
"Riverbed's customers are consolidating their IT infrastructure and moving data farther from users, which has negatively impacted the response times of business-critical applications. Our WAN optimization solutions help enterprises overcome these issues and deliver LAN-like application performance to distributed employees," said Venugopal Pai, vice president of alliances at Riverbed.
"In addition to accelerating performance over the WAN, it is a logical extension to partner with companies like McAfee whose best-of-breed network security solutions are essential for a reliable distributed IT infrastructure."
