Ensure Availability and Performance of Virtualized Server Infrastructure
The benefits of implementing server virtualization include resource consolidation, cost savings, and improved business continuity. Implementing server virtualization also requires addressing new challenges, which could actually increase the network's complexity rather than make it easier to manage:
- Maintaining SLAs and improving the Quality of Experience (QoE) of end users in a virtual environment is a complex task as ten, or even hundreds, of different virtual machines (VMs) may share the same physical resource pool and therefore compete for the same resources.
- Mission-critical applications that have been migrated into the virtual environment still require the same strict zero-downtime policy as required before the migration.
- Virtualization creates a single, consolidated infrastructure that enables deploying multiple resources on-the-fly. As a result, adding or removing VMs dynamically becomes easy and painless. It is then up to the IT manager to ensure that every change in the virtualized infrastructure (adding a new VM to a virtual application cluster, removing it from the application cluster, or provisioning a new critical application) is updated in the ADC - left unchecked, virtual application availability and performance could suffer significant degradation.

Seamless, Efficient Integration
Radware's application delivery solution integrates seamlessly into fully virtualized server environments, or into heterogenic environments (i.e., a hybrid of dedicated and virtualized resources), helping to generate cost savings above those gained by server or application virtualization alone, and addressing the challenges for effective application delivery.
Radware's integrated application delivery solution for virtualized server environments includes the following products:
- Radware's AppDirector and Alteon AAS are intelligent Application Delivery Controllers (ADCs) for the data center, enabling high availability, optimized application performance, application security, and infrastructure scalability. AppDirector and Alteon AAS provide application acceleration features, such as Web compression, secure socket layer (SSL) offloading, and caching for the fastest application and transaction response times.
- Radware's vDirect plug-in, an ADC management orchestration plug-in, which provides all the building blocks, and management interfaces required for an Orchestration System to manage and monitor Radware's VADI vADCs and computing resources within a virtual data center – ensuring maximum business agility and IT efficiency when managing an application delivery infrastructure. Download the product data sheet.
- Radware's vAdapter™ ensures that any change in the virtual infrastructure (VI) -- impacting the ADC configuration -- is automatically synchronized with the ADC in real-time without manual reconfiguration of the ADC or coding any complex scripts. Download the product data sheet.
