An Architectural Approach to Application Delivery

APSolute OS, the common software architecture that unifies the entire APSolute™ product family, is the brainpower behind Radware’s innovative approach to business-smart networking.

With greater deployment of web applications and services, and more mobile users to manage on a global scale, delivering customer value is all about optimizing the end-user experience and meeting increasingly demanding SLAs for the growing array of business-critical applications delivered over IP networks.

Radware’s cohesive system software supports integrated health monitoring, traffic redirection, load balancing, traffic shaping, bandwidth management, intrusion prevention and Denial of Service (DoS) capabilities to enable networked applications to perform to their fullest potential.

The modules described here support a granular classification of traffic based on application-level parameters, end-to-end flow management and integrated availability, performance and security functionality.

Classifier and Flow Manager The power of APSolute business-smart networking comes from these two core engines that are used by all other services. By using network, application, content and user intelligence, Classifier and Flow Manager determine what actions the network needs to take in terms of applying different services to optimize traffic flows for different applications at every critical point along a transaction path to optimize the user experience.		Availability Services High application availability and continuous operations are guaranteed by combining intelligent health monitoring, failure bypassing and traffic redirection. Traffic is automatically routed to the highest performing resources; network resource failures are detected and bypassed in real-time.
Performance Services Comprehensive control over bandwidth resource allocation allows for prioritizing all network traffic, thus guaranteeing service levels across the entire network. Advanced application acceleration technologies reduce application content size to speed up processing while freeing the application infrastructure to deliver content more efficiently.		Security Services APSolute OS integrates multilayered security for comprehensive intrusion prevention and DoS protection to mitigate against application-level attacks and secure all networked applications, users and server resources.
