Dubai, United Arab Emirates – March 29, 2015 - Riverbed Technology, the leader in application performance infrastructure, has been named 'Network Management & Monitoring Vendor of the Year' at the Network World Middle East awards held in Dubai on the 23rd March, 2015. The highly coveted award recognises Riverbed® as the leading provider of technologies that give enterprises comprehensive visibility and control into all applications and data on their complex hybrid IT networks.

Elie Dib, Managing Director for Middle East and North, West and Central Africa at Riverbed said, “The Network World Middle East awards lay a great deal of emphasis on successful customer implementations in the region. We were able to demonstrate a number of examples whereby the Riverbed SteelCentral solution helped customers pinpoint the root causes of their application performance issues and proactively mitigate them. For these organizations, the resulting decrease in manpower required for maintenance, together with the measurable increase in employee productivity have resulted in an easily realized return on investment.”

“While we remain the global leader in network performance optimization, it is encouraging for us as an organization to now be recognized as the leader in network management and monitoring as well. We are extremely proud to receive this award and look forward to building on this success,” he stated.

In recent years, there has been growing regional interest in the Riverbed® SteelCentral™ solution. It is an end-to-end platform that combines user experience, application, and network visibility to detect and resolve issues before end users notice. SteelCentral drastically reduces the time and effort required to develop, deploy, and ensure application performance and has been leveraged by a number of enterprise and government organizations in the Middle East to gain vital insight into application performance.

Now in its sixth year, the Network World Middle East awards are an established platform that recognizes both the key technology implementations in the region as well as the vendors who have positively impacted the market with innovative solutions.
