Steelhead Appliance Models
For your largest offices, corporate headquarters, or your data centers, the Steelhead Larger models provide even greater capacity, plus the redundancy required in a mission-critical technology.
Optional multi-port Ethernet cards enable integration into multi-link or redundant WAN configurations. Clustering with the Interceptor appliance provides additional failover or scaling in extremely large deployments, ensuring that Steelhead appliances can always scale up to meet your application acceleration needs.
These devices contain RAID, triple power supplies, and hot-swappable disk to ensure maximum uptime and rock-solid hardware reliability.

(b) No enforced optimized WAN bandwidth limit
(c) For Data Center to Data Center workloads, WAN capacity is up to 1 Gbps. For DC to remote office workloads, recommended WAN capacity is up to 622 Mbps
(d) TCP Connections can be expected up to the amount listed
(e) No PFS support
(f) Data store uses fault tolerant striped configuration
(g) Hot swappable disks
(h) Optional Network Bypass cards: Dual and Quad LX and SX GigE Fiber GigE, Quad Copper GigE, Dual 10GbE SR (INT9350 & SHA7050 only)
(k) Raw disk capacity allocated to the RSP partition. About 7GB is used by RSP package and filesystem. Partner packages need additional storage (based on the size of the package)
(m) RSP requires additional 2GB of memory, 6050 requires 4GB, 7050 requires 8GB
(n) Over 4Gbps of LAN performance with 2.5X data reduction when configured to use jumbo Ethernet frames
(o) The 5050L and the 1050 B/W increases require RiOS 5.5.7 or 6.0.2
