RSP - Technical ConsiderationsRSP Technical Considerations• VM creation in VMserver, Workstation and P2V• Virtual machine versions 4, 6, 7• Check 32Bit/64Bit support per appliance model depending on what VM
you want to run– Desktop Models – 250, 500 32-bitDesktop Models 250, 500 32 bit– 1U and Above – 64-bit
• For production critical RSP packages– recommend RAID kit for SH for the 1U models
• No thin provisioning• Must install VMware tools• No USB or CD/DVD support• Memory supported disc space supported• Memory supported, disc space supported• RiOS 6.0 and above – more RAM supported• Check resources that appliance needs

• Gi e o r laptops and PC’s their own • Give your laptops and PC’s their own Steelhead for optimization when working remotelyremotely

• Windows and Mac supportWindows and Mac support• Careful with Out of path support depending
where ser er side SH iswhere server side SH is• Datastore size – larger data store translates to

new SID needed
CascadeCascade
• End to End layer 4 - 7 visibility and performance End to End layer 4 7 visibility and performance monitoring– Which applications at which sites still require acceleration?– What performance level is each of your users experiencing
now?A l h h h & l h h – Are critical metrics such as throughput & latency where the business needs them to be?
– Are specific applications or users slowing down your Are specific applications or users slowing down your network?
– Tunneled applications
Cascade = Visibility
