Radware (NASDAQ: RDWR), the leading provider of intelligent integrated solutions for ensuring the fast, reliable and secure delivery of networked and Web-enabled applications over IP, announced today that its AppDirector 1000 has earned highest ratings from IDG's TechWorld application delivery test, beating out competitive products from F5 and Coyote Point. The testing, underscores Radware's capability to provide fast, reliable and secure application delivery at all times.
In a simulated medium- to large- size enterprise environment, TechWorld measured the vendors' ability to monitor, control and balance traffic across multiple servers for increased performance and high availability. TechWorld used Windows server running Microsoft SQL Server in a cluster in one test and Web servers with Internet information server in another. The test engineers then increased traffic to test the products™ resiliency, ultimately evaluating them based on the support provided, ease of use, installation and configuration, functions and refinements and robustness and stability. Techworld's reviewer awarded Radware the highest marks of the group test.
Radware AppDirector 1000, which sits inline on the network behind routers and in front of applications, has full visibility into all traffic that traverses the WAN and in the data center and works to provide health monitoring, traffic redirection, load balancing, traffic shaping, bandwidth management, and other application services as well as intrusion prevention and denial of service protection. TechWorld concluded that AppDirector 1000 kept critical applications and data up and running at all times with its advanced layer 4-7 policies and granular application intelligence. It also highlighted the following key strengths:
- AppDirector 1000 has a significantly more flexible structure than top competitors when it came to measuring traffic in active sessions, comparing traffic to and from different servers and determining the size of the load in each server.
- AppDirector 1000 carried out every task with fluency and distributed heavy traffic between servers intelligently and efficiently to eliminate traffic surges, server bottlenecks, connectivity disconnects and downtime.
- AppDirector 1000 has a superior interface which offers more ease-of-use, built-in monitoring, and central administration capabilities for multiple devices.
According to TechWorld product tester, Per A Forsberg, "Best in test is Radware AppDirector 1000, primarily for the excellent interface. The solution is sound and solid and performs excellently in our tests. It's also a truly stable solution for load balancing."
