“Creating a virtualized application delivery infrastructure allows for the alignment of application delivery services with a company’s new virtual data center architecture – providing each application with an application delivery service matching a business’ SLAs and performance predictability needs,” said Ilan Kinreich, COO at Radware, as Radware Monday launched VADI, its Virtual Application Delivery Infrastructure Strategy.
VADI is an industry-first architecture that transforms computing resources, ADC and virtualization services into an integrated application delivery virtualization infrastructure delivering full agility and efficiency.
“Radware is the only application delivery provider to market such an offering,” Kinreich continued.
Creating a virtualized data center is really about creating a consolidated, cost-effective, agile, highly available and performing data center. The consolidation and virtualization of the infrastructure has a major impact on the role of Application Delivery Controllers (ADC). To avoid the risks of losing performance predictability, application resilience and related costs, Radware took a closer look at how best to help its customers avoid the pitfalls when transitioning from a fully physical environment to a hybrid or fully virtual data center.
The result is Radware’s Virtual Application Delivery Infrastructure (VADI) – an architecture which transforms computing resources, as well as application delivery and virtualization services into one integrated, agile and scalable Application Delivery Virtualization Infrastructure.
It is designed to bridge the gap across underlying hardware resources and serve the various application needs in terms of SLA and performance predictability while delivering maximal agility to application delivery services. In essence, Radware’s VADI transforms a standard application delivery infrastructure into an agile virtual application delivery control plane.
“There is great growth and efficiency potential for traditional datacenters transitioning towards the virtual datacenter, and this will change the dynamics of the market,” stated Lucinda Borovick, Vice President for IDC’s Datacenter Networks service. “To date, what’s been missing is a concrete way for data centers to migrate to the new virtual data center construct while ensuring application delivery as a key component can move in lock-step with that migration to ensure resilience, predictability and scale in the physical environment. Radware, with their VADI strategy and product release, is meeting those needs and allowing companies to adopt virtual application delivery deployments according to the evolution of their IT needs and user demands.”
