Riverbed Steelhead® Appliances Accelerate Autodesk AutoCAD® Despite the efforts of AutoCAD to dramatically reduce the average file size of design documents, file collaboration over a Wide Area Network (WAN) can take a dramatic toll on productivity. Files are often many hundreds of megabytes, resulting in inefficiency even in basic operations such as file opens and file saves.
