Actually we use Riverbeds behind about 19 DPs at remote offices and it works 
just fine.  We use HTTP, not HTTPS traffic for our DPs (yes I know and that 
will change) so can't comment on the certs but its been fine.  We did run into 
issues with the Riverbeds with the old CM07 environment and had to put bypasses 
on all the remote DPs but that hasn't come up again in 2012R2.  So yes, someone 
does use Riverbeds, they still exist.

Jeeze... that post was 5 years ago! Nobody uses Riverbeds anymore. When I did 
say that I liked Riverbeds it was only as a WAN accelerator not anything more. 
It sounds like you are trying to run a DP on the appliance. If that's the case 
I'm unfamiliar with that use case, probably because as I said...Nobody uses 
riverbeds anymore. :)

If I had a branch office scenario where I needed a DP and I couldn't have a DP 
I'd buy nomad and be done with it. That is simple, cheap and well proven 
technology.

Subject: [mssms] Use of Riverbeds at remote offices

Hi there folks

I was wondering if someone would have some detail on using Riverbed Steelheads 
with CM Agents please?

We are working on a CM design with DPs at a head office location hosting 
BranchCache and clients at remote offices.  Between them we have a number of 
SteelHeads and I am keen to find out more about how this scenario stands up.

The customer only supports Riverbedding HTTPS traffic so the assumption is that 
we will be supplying the web server certs of the DPs so that they can get at 
the data while in transit in order to cache it

As I have been BinGoogling I have found that Mr Marcum is a fan but Mr Sandys 
is not

I also note that RiOS 8.5 introduced support for BranchCache in hosted mode.  
Now I know that CM does not support Hosted mode, running in distributed mode 
but should the customer implement this does anyone know if the Riverbeds then 
publish a service connection point?

Best Wishes

Jason
