Initial Position Cisco announces the end-of-support date for their ACE load balancing platform SIX runs approx. 400 services on their load balancing infrastructure Load balancing is a key feature for SIX to provide stable and reliable services to our customers 4
Infrastructure overview DC1 DC2 5
Challenges By the end of February 2017, no support is available for the existing load balancing infrastructure New features like Global Server Load Balancing (GSLB) are not available on ACE. 6
Goal Replacement of current load balancing product line by a new, powerful and costefficient infrastructure Implement additional (network) features like GSLB. Make sure the new product is future proof and allows further development within our existing service landscape. Easy migration from ACE to new solution 7
Approach Requirements engineering Evaluation of a new platform Proof of concept Implement new solution Step-by-step migration of services 8
Why A10? Easy learning and migration from ACE to A10 Cisco CLI Configuration migration possible Good choice for enterprises seeking a highly scalable, cost-effective solution that supports an increasingly advanced ADC feature set New platform offers flexibility to SIX All-inclusive licensing Additional functionality can be added without an impact on cost SIX currently does not have the need for sophisticated, leading-edge ADC features (e.g. DDoS protection, WAF ). Rather we rely on a layered security approach. Positive experiences with A10 support during PoC phase agalaxy offers central management for whole infrastructure 9
