Radware (NASDAQ:RDWR), a leading provider of Intelligent Traffic Management (ITM) solutions that bring certainty to dynamic networks, ensuring optimal, continuous, personalized and secure service, is proud to announce the release of its SynApps Architecture™. The SynApps Architecture is available on the entire Radware Application Switch product suite and combines application health monitoring, traffic redirection, bandwidth management and application security in a powerful ASIC based switch platform.
"Internet Traffic Management devices sit at a critical point in the network," said Lucinda Borovick, program manager, data center networks, at IDC. "In that critical position, Radware's SynApps is creating a value add for customers' e-business infrastructures." SynApps was designed to eliminate network uncertainty and to provide customers with fast, continuous, secure and personalized service. As the first vendor to combine this much functionality in an ITM solution, Radware expands the role of Internet Traffic Management. SynApps Architecture manifests Radware's commitment to pioneering Web switching solutions.
"SynApps demonstrates Radware's vision, focus and technical expertise in developing next generation ITM solutions," said Roy Zisapel, CEO of Radware Ltd. "The SynApps Architecture clearly redefines the role of application switching by providing all the tools necessary to safeguard our customers' e-relationships with their users. SynApps, combined with our multi-Gigabit switching platform, delivers a unique solution that provides optimum, continuous, personalized and secure service."
SynApps Architecture Components:
Application Health Monitoring
SynApps ensures a fast, consistent user experience by delivering health monitoring tools that check physical and logical application resources. If a problem is detected, SynApps generates the proper alerts and overcomes the problem by redirecting users to alternate resources within the local or global network. SynApps health monitoring includes tools that check: all IP protocols, standard server agents employing IP, TCP and UDP, Web transactions, including content verification.
Traffic Redirection
Traffic redirection capabilities ensure that users are directed to healthy and available resources locally or globally despite the inherent and unpredictable peaks in Internet traffic. Resource optimization ensures the fastest and best customer service by redirecting traffic to the least loaded server, data center, firewall or router.
Bandwidth Management
SynApps bandwidth management allows companies to define and implement their own bandwidth management policies for applications running on servers, firewalls and cache servers as well as expensive and critical Wide Area Newtwork connections. Bandwidth management allows companies to guarantee that critical business traffic such as ERP traffic or e-commerce transactions receive higher priority versus non-critical traffic.
Application Security
SynApps also provides the ability to detect network intrusion and prevent dangerous malicious attacks, thereby providing another line of defense for critical network resources Radware products are managing. The application security module helps protect networks and applications from more than 300 known attack signatures. In today's e-commerce arena, companies are well aware of the security hazards and risks that their networks are exposed to. SynApps is the first Web switch in the industry to address this risk directly.
SynApps Architecture will be sold as an add-on module to each Radware product line and will be ready for purchase in Q-4.
