Riverbed Introduces New Line of Products for the Service Provider Market to Enable Network-as-a-ServiceRiverbed (News - Alert) Technology, the SD-WAN company, today introduced the Riverbed Service Delivery Platform, designed to enable service providers to deliver Network-as-a-Service, with the speed and flexibility expected by today's digital enterprises. Current Network Function Virtualization (NFV) deployments have given service providers a limited ability to provision new services quickly and consolidate branch footprint, but have failed to deliver on the true agility that service providers require in order to improve customer satisfaction and grow their business. In many cases, NFV has perpetuated and magnified the existing challenges with physical appliances by introducing additional operational complexity.

With the Service Delivery Platform, service providers will be able to rapidly introduce new services, ensure those services are delivered as intended, give their customers the ability to scale services up and down on demand, and expand into new areas such as IoT and Edge Compute.
