Employees working from construction trailers will typically have a T1 line to the corporate office. Applications are generally loaded on the local workstations, but project data needed is located on the corporate office server. Data accessed across a T1 is slow so construction trailer personnel often save files on their local workstations. This creates a risk of losing data since local hard drives are not included in the backup scheme.

In addition to accessing project data, remote users also need to connect to the corporate mail server, timesheet software, or other database-driven applications.

Implementing a Riverbed Steelhead appliance or Steelhead Mobile unit in the construction trailer can optimize the traffic flow and provide near-LAN speed access to the construction trailer users.

Deployment options include either a small Steelhead appliance or Steelhead Mobile.
