It has been a busy few weeks for WAN optimization and application acceleration vendors. Among the highlights is Afore Solutions’ introduction of a network acceleration appliance designed to optimize data-center-to-data-center applications, such as storage backups and live migrations of virtual machines. Intelligent Compression Technologies, meanwhile, upgraded its software-based WAN optimization product, and Radware added to its lineup of upgradeable application acceleration appliances.
Radware’s ADC grows as traffic climbs
Radware’s newest application delivery controller embraces a pay-as-you-grow model for companies that don’t want to spend money boosting capacity until it’s needed. The company’s upgradeable OnDemand Switch 3 appliance offers throughput between 1Gbps and 16Gbps, depending on what’s needed. The newest addition to Radware’s OnDemand Switch family lets companies scale their throughput capacity and add application acceleration services as infrastructure requirements change. Adjustable application acceleration services include caching, TCP optimization, Web compression and SSL offloading. Radware also says it upped AppDirector’s performance-per-watt to help companies save on rack space, power and cooling loads.
