Radware (NASDAQ RDWR) a leading provider of Internet traffic management solutions enabling continuous access to Web sites, and Westcon Asia Ltd. - a subsidiary of the global channel provider Westcon Group - have announced the signing of a distribution agreement. Under its terms, Westcon Asia will distribute Radware's LinkProof™ and FireProof™ in the People's Republic of China.
FireProof by Radware is a traffic management solution specifically designed for firewalls and VPN systems. FireProof provides network certainty via non stop service of security environments and ensures top quality service by optimizing security resources. A single FireProof is capable of intelligently distributing traffic among as many as 100 firewalls, handling simultaneously inbound and outbound, transparent or non-transparent traffic. In addition, FireProof performs real-time monitoring on the managed firewall and routes traffic to the appliance that has the highest availability. Based on user defined intervals, the application health on each firewall is periodically monitored to ensure that traffic is routed to the best possible resource. LinkProof is a comprehensive, easy to use content traffic management solution for networks with multiple links ensuring the fastest content delivery and eliminating single points of failure. Sitting logically between the enterprise network and a farm of Internet routers, LinkProof verifies ISP health and intelligently load balances all inbound and outbound traffic. LinkProof's patent pending Optimal Content Routing ensures that specific content is delivered through the best performing link. The proximity to the requested content, the real time load and the link cost are all considered when determining which link will offer the best and fastest performance for that specific content. End users receive optimized service and response time while receiving the fastest content delivery. John Lounsbury, Managing Director of Westcon Asia Limited, said, "Radware's traffic management solutions are able to relieve the congestion from servers and firewall farms and result in maximization of access and manageability. Their solutions incorporate cutting-edge technologies and the most sophisticated algorithms available. Their superior fault tolerance and redundancy features assure maximum uptime and no single point of failure. They will definitely complement the product portfolio of Westcon." "Westcon has a reputation as being the leading independent vendor for networking technology. We are pleased that two market leaders like Westcon and Radware can work together to bring the highest quality solutions to the Chinese marketplace." Said Yaron Danieli, Vice President Sales at Radware Ltd.
