2 Radware Application Delivery Solution Radware application delivery solution delivers a future-proof, application-aware approach to deploying and managing applications, guaranteeing their availability, performance and security while enabling to extract more value from IT investments in the physical and virtual data center. Application Delivery Challenges Today s IT manager application delivery challenges span multiple domains: Availability. Business reputation, productivity and profitability depend on continuous, 24/7 business and application availability. The financial implications of downtime can equate up to about $900,000 for a small to medium-sized enterprise and could run up to several millions of dollars for larger enterprises. Performance. Application response time must be fast - as network latency, overloaded servers, protocol chattiness and larger transaction volumes degrade employee productivity and customer satisfaction levels. Security. Mission-critical applications should keep operating even when under attack. As enterprises expose more applications and services to employees, customers and business partners; the risk of security breaches increases. Virtualization. Virtualization is becoming increasingly popular as it creates a single, consolidated infrastructure which enables the deployment of multiple resources on-the-fly, so that adding or removing applications takes place dynamically and quickly. The application delivery controller (ADC) must play an active role in the virtualization ecosystem to ensure the resilience and efficiency of virtualized applications while being synchronized with these dynamic changes. Scalability. In today s global business landscape, data center infrastructure and applications are ever-changing; new applications are rolled-out, more users employ the applications and the overall throughput, and transactions and SSL connections capacity increase. The application delivery solution should address both today and tomorrow s requirements in the most cost-effective manner and with minimal hardware modifications. Application Performance Visibility. Ensuring applications deliver the best quality of experience requires IT administrators to gain maximum visibility on all application delivery chain components. During roll-out, they must see which ADC has enough free resources to properly serve the application, and should get all relevant information during the service time, to identify and analyze SLA drops in the application in real time. Radware ADC: The Most Comprehessive Application Delivery Solution Radware s application delivery solution delivers a complete set of services to ensure the availability, performance and security of the mission-critical applications in the data center. The solution provides a broad set of application-aware capabilities including load balancing, integrated application acceleration, security protection, ADC virtualization, disaster recovery and end-to-end visibility which ensure maximum value with minimal cost.
