What is RSP? VMware Virtualization running on theSteelhead – VM Server 2 SupportS pport for 5 VM instances Steelhead is always in-path, but RSP providesfflexibleconfigurationsfffor differentffdata fflowscenarios (VNI’s – virtual network interfaces) RSP is a separate service running in ownmemory space – traffic and optimizationalways preserved

Use Cases for RSP Branch Services– DC, AD, File and Print, BranchCache– Consolidated core network services - Infoblox Security– IDS/IPS,/– Firewall (e.g. Checkpoint, Forefront),– Web Filtering (e.g. Websense)
