Infrastructure-as-a-Service Providers

Recent surveys have shown that the market for cloud-based services (IaaS, SaaS, and PaaS) has been growing worldwide year over year, with an expected market size of $150.1 billion in 2013.

The growth of the market, and with it the commoditization of cloud-based services, will surely result in many new cloud providers (CPs) as time goes by. While these providers will have to deal with similar challenges such as data center virtualization, data security and compliance, application availability, resource elasticity and metering, etc., only those providers who are able to rise above these challenges and be able to reduce costs while yielding more revenue out of their existing infrastructure will be the ones who are most likely to lead the market and enjoy the largest market share.

As the leading provider of integrated application delivery and security solutions for business-smart networking, Radware has developed solutions that specifically address these challenges. Radware's cloud solutions provide a variety of business benefits, delivering the most focused offering on the market for Infrastructure-as-a-Service providers:

• Complete alignment with IaaS providers' tiered approach to service level guarantees, through the support of multiple ADC form factors for any service level and type of environment:
  • ADC-VX^™ - the industry first ADC hypervisor that enables the use of multiple vADCs on top of a dedicated, specialized ADC hardware – Radware OnDemand Switch.
  • Soft ADC - vADC on general server virtualization infrastructure, running as a virtual appliance.
  • Dedicated ADC - a dedicated physical ADC device running a single vADC.

• Improved business agility and service efficiency in the virtualized data center, through:
  • Instant provisioning of virtual ADC services
  • OnDemand throughput and services scalability
  • Central ADC management
  • Integration with leading orchestration systems
  • Automatic ADC configuration synchronization

• Full protection against attacks targeting hosted cloud applications and services, such as Web service-based attacks, Web application attacks, vulnerability and non-vulnerability-based IPS and Denial of Service (DoS) attacks, and more.
• Facilitation of new potential revenues for IaaS providers from selling security capabilities such as IPS and DoS protection as additional infrastructure services to their customers.
• Ensured end-user QoE, optimal application performance, and reduction of data center CAPEX.
• Optimal performance assurance, by automatically and dynamically allocating additional computing resources in an elastic manner, both per a single data center and across multiple data centers.
• Guaranteed 24x7 availability of applications, services and data centers.
