Integration of SD WAN and Cloud-Managed Wi-Fi Solutions
Continue supplying Zirus products as standalone enterprise WLAN solutions


Riverbed Technology Korea has reached a final agreement to acquire Xirrus, a leading next-generation Wi-Fi network company.

Through the acquisition of the private company Zirus, the capabilities of the SD (Software Defined)-WAN and cloud networking solution 'Riverbed SteelConnect' are expected to be expanded by integrating with a stable and proven high-performance cloud-managed Wi-Fi solution.



Through this, Riverbed customers and partners will receive integrated connectivity and policy-based orchestration capabilities across distributed networks, including WAN, LAN/WLAN, data centers, and the cloud. Riverbed also plans to continue supplying Zirus products as stand-alone enterprise WLAN solutions.
Jerry M. Kennelly, Chairman and CEO of Riverbed Kennelly stated, “The acquisition of Zirus is a strategic decision that secures Riverbed the best enterprise-grade Wi-Fi solution,” adding, “Through the performance enhancement of SteelConnect, we are now providing a unique SD-WAN solution that will accelerate Riverbed’s growth amidst fierce market competition.”

He also added, “In today’s digital, cloud, and mobile environment, enterprise networks have become far more complex and unpredictable than before, leading IT teams to face management challenges.” He continued, “At a time when we must fundamentally rethink networking, this acquisition puts Riverbed and its partners in a more advantageous position to implement software-defined network approaches for CIOs and enterprise customers, and to provide integrated connectivity and management capabilities across the entire network.”

Riverbed plans to provide Zirus solutions through a stable partner ecosystem. The acquisition of Zirus, headquartered in Thousand Oaks, California, is scheduled to be completed in April 2017.
