Red Education training partner
Riverbed
WAN optimization pioneer turned observability company.
Riverbed defined WAN optimization: its SteelHead appliances made far-away applications feel local in the era when every branch office lived at the end of a thin, expensive circuit, and the company has since rebuilt itself around observability and acceleration.
Rodolfo does not deliver Riverbed training. This is one of the vendor tracks taught by Red Education's instructor team, not part of his own authorized portfolio (F5, Fortinet, Netskope, Extreme Networks).
Red Education has provided Riverbed skills to the market since 2008 and is a Riverbed Authorised Consulting Partner, with courses continuing in its Australasia, SAARC, and ASEAN catalogues.
Founded in 2002 by Jerry Kennelly and Steve McCanne - the latter a co-author of tcpdump and the Berkeley Packet Filter, tools half this site's tutorials assume - Riverbed rode the SteelHead era to an IPO, was taken private in 2015, and went through a court-supervised restructuring in late 2021. Today it competes in unified observability, a long way from the branch-office WAN it was built to shrink.
