Riverbed. Stingray. Traffic Manager frees applications from the constraints
of proprietary, hardware-based application delivery controllers (ADCs),
enabling them to run in any physical, virtual, or cloud environment, and to
migrate and scale on demand. Stingray Traffic Manager, which is one of the
fastest software-based ADCs on the market, is used by seven of the top 10
global telecommunications providers, and also powers some of the most popular
sites on the web, including Whitepages.com, Gilt Groupe, Domino's Pizza, and
the BBC.

Despite increasing traffic loads, rapid change, and complex deployment
infrastructures, online applications are still expected to deliver consistently
excellent service levels. Stingray traffic management solutions provide complete
control over user traffic, allowing administrators to accelerate, optimize, and
secure key business applications. Now it.s possible to deliver these services
more quickly and ensure the best possible performance across any deployment
platform.

Application delivery controllers accelerate transactions, maximize
availability, manage security policies, and provide a point of control to
monitor and manage application traffic. Stingray Traffic Manager is a software-
based ADC that provides unprecedented scale and flexibility to deliver
applications across the widest range of environments, from physical and virtual
data centers to public and hybrid clouds.

Stingray Traffic Manager benefits include:
Speed: Accelerate services, increase capacity, and reduce costs by offloading
performance-draining tasks such as SSL and compression onto Stingray Traffic
Manager.s optimized implementations. Cache commonly requested content and
optimize traffic delivery to applications so they.ll run as fast as they
would in a perfect benchmark environment.

Reliability: Improve application availability by intelligently distributing
traffic, avoiding failed or degraded servers, monitoring performance problems,
and shaping traffic spikes.

Improved security: Stingray Traffic Manager operates as a deny-all gateway,
only admitting traffic types it has been configured to admit. This provides
full control over how traffic is internally routed. High-performance inspection
can interrogate any part of a request or response to apply global filtering or
scrubbing policies. The Stingray Application Firewall option also protects
against a broad range of web application attacks.

Ease of management: Stingray Traffic Manager makes it easy to manage how users
interact with applications, and the infrastructure those applications depend on.
Use it to shape, prioritize, and route traffic, to drain infrastructure resources
prior to maintenance, and to upgrade user sessions across application instances,
all while preserving the user experience that business demands.
