I’m using home.pl to host some of my projects. Also, this is test platform for some of the application I work on.

Previous article about Riverbed covered RiOS upgrade process. In this post I will show how to install Riverbed Service Platform (RSP).

First let’s see how to get RSP image and what is RSP and how this can be used.

RSP can be downloaded from Riverbed Support page (https://support.riverbed.com/software/rsp.htm), where appropriate version for particular RiOS and Steelhead model can be downloaded.

Best source of detailed description will be RSP User’s Guide, so I did use it as source of information.

RSP offers branch-office-in-a-box services with the following benefits:

• A VMware-based virtualization platform that provides the benefits of the most commonly deployed and advanced virtualization tool set
• Support for running up to five different additional services simultaneously on a single Steelhead appliance, depending on the service and Steelhead appliance model
• Support for more services and types of services, including in-band packages located in-line with optimization such as the Universal Threat Management (UTM) security services, proxy solutions such as video or network monitoring services, and improved support for out-of-band packages  such as Windows Active Directory, DNS and DHCP management software, and print services.
• A comprehensive, integrated user interface that provides granular control of RSP, including setup, reporting, and the definition of the data flow between services
