Radware’s Alteon ADC– The Most Comprehensive ADC Solution

Radware’s Alteon ADC solution provides advanced and comprehensive application delivery capabilities needed to effectively meet challenges of application deployment and application delivery in today’s data centers. Equipped with advanced application acceleration capabilities, a global server load balancing solution and a comprehensive layer 7 modification tool, Alteon ADC is well positioned as the leading ADC in the industry. Alteon ADC also spearheads the ADC virtualization trend with ADC-VX™, the industry’s first ADC virtualization and consolidation platform based on a specialized ADC hypervisor, and Alteon virtual appliance (Alteon VA).

Radware’s Alteon ADC solution delivers a complete set of services to ensure the availability, performance and security of the mission critical applications in the data center. Application aware traffic redirection capabilities including content switching, session persistency and advanced servers health monitoring combined with denial-of-service mitigation and SYN flood protection guarantee the application availability under any circumstances. To ensure complete business continuity, Alteon ADC also offers a multi-site global server load balancing solution
 

Integrated Application Acceleration Capabilities

Radware’s Alteon ADC delivers a wide set of advanced application acceleration capabilities including SSL offloading, web compression, caching, HTTP multiplexing and TCP optimization. These capabilities are designed to offload servers, address server performance issues and enhance response time for best users’ quality of experience. By offloading processor intensive operations such as SSL decryption and encryption from the applications servers, Alteon ADC frees the servers’ CPUs to handle additional requests. This results in reduced application server hardware and lower CAPEX. When Alteon ADC is deployed with mission critical applications, users, partners and employees benefit from best quality of experience and fastest response time of the applications, resulting in improved productivity and increased revenues. For example, when operating Alteon with Microsoft SharePoint, the response time of SharePoint servers is accelerated by 350% and the servers’ CPU load is reduced by 40%. Similar benefits are achieved with other popular applications.

Intelligently Embedding Radware’s ‘On Demand’ Strategy

Radware’s OnDemand Switch® with its “pay-as-you-grow” approach allows organizations to pay only for the exact capacity currently required, which prevents over-spending on the initial solution, while benefiting from top performance of high-end platform and best in class response time. Throughput capacity, vADC instances, acceleration capabilities and application-aware services can be added on demand to meet new business requirements – with no forklift upgrade or restart of the device. The “pay-as-you-grow” approach enables organizations to overcome capacity planning challenges and reduces risk associated with data center growth for best investment protection. Additionally, Radware exclusively provides a 5-year platform longevity guarantee, which results in extended project lifetime and accelerate ROI.

Shaped to Deliver Applications

With Radware’s AppShape™ technology, Alteon ADC benefits from reduced deployment time of application delivery services by 85%, while guaranteeing maximum value for each business critical application in terms of availability, performance and security. AppShape offers configuration templates and wizards for leading business applications. AppShape allows application delivery services to be fully managed and operated from an application-centric view including operational screens, logs and compliance – resulting in simplified and efficient application management in the ADC. Furthermore AppShape’s reporting capabilities help organizations with capacity planning tasks by providing per application trends analysis and resources utilization reports.
