Riverbed and Intel Partner to Enhance Digital Experiences

Riverbed has extended Observability to peripheral devices with Intel Thunderbolt and Wi-Fi technologies to improve the user experience

Riverbed, has announced Riverbed Aternity for Intel Thunderbolt and Wi-Fi—a new solution that for the first time combines observability into connected devices configured with Intel Thunderbolt and Intel Wi-Fi technologies. The solution combines Aternity’s advanced analytics and powerful visibility into user experience with the Intel Connectivity Analytics software development kit (SDK) that provides below-the-OS telemetry for devices with Intel Thunderbolt and Wi-Fi technologies. The solution extends visibility beyond the PC or laptop, enabling IT teams to deliver a better digital experience for end users.

Powered by Intel Connectivity Analytics, the observability solution for Intel Thunderbolt and Wi-Fi technologies is the first third-party module available as part of the Riverbed Unified Agent. It enables organizations to confront agent fatigue challenges by allowing IT teams to capture more data without the need to add more agents.

Transforming IT Management and Employee Experience

Today, a large majority of enterprise work happens on laptops and desktops with Intel processors, and Intel Thunderbolt and Wi-Fi technologies have become essential for high-performance computing—whether in data-intensive industries or for daily office and remote work. Employees globally rely on Thunderbolt to connect peripheral devices like keyboards, monitors, storage, and cameras, and they use Wi-Fi everywhere—from home to airports to corporate offices. While many organizations use end-user device management tools like Riverbed Aternity to see what is happening across laptops and PCs, they don’t have real-time visibility into the performance of connected devices with Intel Thunderbolt or Wi-Fi technologies. 

Aternity for Intel Thunderbolt and Wi-Fi solutions addresses this challenge faced by IT teams in managing the increasing complexity of enterprise connectivity environments. With this new module powered by Intel Connectivity Analytics, organizations can now proactively monitor and resolve connectivity performance, configuration, and other issues, while also ensuring a seamless user experience for employees relying on high-performance devices.

Key Features of Riverbed Aternity for Intel Thunderbolt and Wi-Fi Technologies:   

Telemetry Source:
The new module is powered by the Intel Connectivity Analytics SDK which enables deep analysis of critical metrics, events, and configuration data from employee devices configured with Intel Thunderbolt and Intel Wi-Fi solutions. The module works together with the Riverbed Aternity End User Experience (EUE) solution to deliver enhanced Digital Employee Experience (DEX) capabilities.

Advanced Analytics and Automation:
Riverbed Aternity’s solution includes a suite of capabilities specifically tailored to address employee experience use cases related to Thunderbolt and Wi-Fi. Key components include:

  • Unique Dashboards: Intuitive dashboards display real-time events, issues, and relevant data for quick insights.
  • Pre-Built Remediations: A set of automated remediations address identified issues, including driver updates, firmware corrections and network optimizations, improving resolution times and user satisfaction.

The Aternity for Intel Thunderbolt and Wi-Fi solution will be available on a limited basis in Q4 2024, with general availability in Q1 2025.  For more information, please visit.
