Improve Your Application Response, Advance Your Business

To transact business today in a networked economy, your distributed workforce, partners and customers rely on the availability, performance and security of mission-critical web applications such as enterprise resource planning (ERP), customer relationship management (CRM), databases, email, VoIP and terminal services.

But database bottlenecks, slow response times, server and network overloads and application scaling pains are common realities plaguing enterprise data centers. According to Infonetics Research, March 2006, the average annual cost to an enterprise due to lost productivity and data center performance degradation is estimated at 1 percent to 3.6 percent of annual revenue.

Because accelerating critical application infrastructure performance has become a business imperative, finding a way for the network and applications to co-exist is key to maximizing your business potential and getting the greatest value from your investments in IT and people.

Accelerate the Performance of Your Applications

When mission-critical applications perform poorly, so does your business. Let Radware’s application acceleration solution provide a cohesive way to speed up your application’s performance. AppDirector™ and AppXcel™ provide superior Layer 4-7 application acceleration and optimization, eliminating service bottlenecks at the data center and providing the best end-user experience everywhere across the wide area network (WAN).

The solution uses a host of technologies to provide end-to-end application-smart acceleration for web-, SSL- and other IP-based applications and all types of clients such as desktops, PDAs and smart phones.

• Secure socket layer (SSL) offloading and HTTP compression remove resource-intensive tasks from servers. This reduces application content size, speeding up processing speeds by up to 500%, while freeing the application infrastructure to deliver content more efficiently.
  
  
• Transaction control protocol (TCP) optimization extends complete control over all TCP sessions on client- and server-side connections. This eliminates lag times, increases session efficiency, improves link bandwidth utilization and boosts application response times across the WAN, while minimizing errors and packet loss.
  
  
• The solution's caching features cache on an application-by-application basis. This provides granular content delivery control and heightened server clustering performance, while saving on bandwidth.
  
  
• Integrated bandwidth management prioritizes traffic (based on applications, content and users) for granular service-level control. By matching application performance to business process needs, application delivery speeds are assured.
  
  
• Global traffic re-direction and Layer 4-7 switching redirects users to the optimal server in one or multiple data centers. Users are served by the most available resources, providing the fastest response time across multiple data centers to users anytime anywhere.

The combination of AppDirector and AppXcel addresses application and network performance bottlenecks, bandwidth consumption, scalability and the consolidation of IT server infrastructure, all in one integrated solution. Radware’s application acceleration solution helps you get more done faster, both today and in the future with faster application response times, improved employee productivity and high customer satisfaction.
