Riverbed announced that its Aternity Digital Employee Experience (DEX) business has surpassed $100 million in annual revenue as of the first quarter of 2026, with first-quarter bookings increasing 85% year-over-year. Aternity product modules deployed reached 8.9 million, up 48% year-over-year, underscoring accelerating customer adoption of Riverbed’s unified approach to DEX.
Aternity’s growth is being fueled by new customer wins and expansion within existing accounts, as organizations consolidate DEX and observability tools to eliminate disruption across increasingly complex digital environments. While other DEX solutions remain constrained by device-led visibility, Aternity delivers full-fidelity insight across devices, applications, and networks in a single, unified platform. This complete, cross-domain view enables IT teams to prevent issues before employees are impacted. With richer, more contextual, full-fidelity data across the entire IT ecosystem, Aternity’s AI delivers more precise insights and actions—driving faster resolution and more reliable outcomes at enterprise scale.
“Digital employee experience is now mission-critical for every enterprise,” said Dave Donatelli, CEO of Riverbed. “Organizations can no longer rely on fragmented tools and partial visibility when employee productivity is on the line. Riverbed Aternity is redefining the DEX category—bringing together full ecosystem visibility, intelligent automation, and a unified platform to eliminate disruption—where disruption is no longer managed but prevented entirely. Aternity 360 is the fastest and simplest way to consolidate tools and simplify operations, and is now our most widely adopted offering as customers standardize on a single platform to achieve these outcomes.”
