Our major use case involves optimizing data replication between the primary and backup data centers in a banking system. Typically, banks have multiple data centers, and they replicate data for backup and disaster recovery. Using Steelhead devices between these centers helps in optimizing bandwidth, which is crucial as dedicated fiber and bandwidth can be expensive.

SteelHead works from the application. I use it to optimize traffic from Amazon. It is mainly used for customers who need to increase the traffic to 33K. For other users, it has been more of an operation.

The primary use case of Steelhead is as a CDR application and a second use case is for optimization. We are global distributors for Riverbed and I'm a technical engineer.
