Branch Office Security and Acceleration with McAfee and Riverbed

With the McAfee-Riverbed partnership announcement earlier this year, organizations looking to both secure and accelerate their branch office infrastructure now have a powerful option that combines McAfee's award-winning branch office security platform with Riverbed's market-leading WAN optimization.

The partnership recently took another step forward as McAfee announced some pretty significant partner incentives that award McAfee partners who sell Riverbed and partners addressing customers who have already installed the Riverbed Steelhead appliance inside their organization. 

McAfee Firewall Enterprise is integrated into the Riverbed Steelhead appliance by way of the Riverbed Services Platform (RSP), a virtualized environment that runs on the appliance.  This integrated solution combines a single box platform containing Riverbed's WAN optimization and McAfee's multi-layer firewall.

Think best of breed branch office security combined with best of breed WAN optimization.  What's not to like?
