What is Application Acceleration? A device or mechanism that helps improve the performance of centralized applications while reducing delay and response time. Most popular methods of Application Acceleration TCP Optimization SSL Offload RAM Caching Compression 11
Excessive TCP Connections Issues Server Connections Problem: Excessive TCP connection management overhead can overwhelm the server farm and reduce overall performance 12
TCP Optimization: Improved Application Performance Solution: Connection Reuse (TCP Multiplexing) to offload TCP connection setup and tear down from the server farm Net Effect: Reduction in connections, improved response times and less required servers 13
Connection Reuse Effects Title Search Title Search Links, Links Links, Links Links, Links Links, Links Links, Links Links, Links No Connection Reuse Time to load page = 16.8s With Connection Reuse Time to load page = 1.4s 14
Gain Extra Capacity with Optimization Versus Server Purchases Freeing capacity for future growth 15
SSL Acceleration for Secure Applications Compute intensive SSL traffic is offloaded by AX Series hardware Simpler certificate management Servers support many more transactions per second Reduced operational expense 16
Faster Page Loads Equal More Revenue RAM Cached objects served from the AX versus a trip to the Web server Benefits Reduce connections and server requests Reduce servers due to offloaded traffic Faster response to the end user 17
Compression to Optimize Any Bandwidth Level Reduces transmission size for HTTP Between AX and the end user International, mobile, legacy devices etc. Compound acceleration in conjunction with RAM Caching Benefits Provides network optimization = bandwidth savings up to 70% for compressed objects Eliminates Web server CPU cycles Reduce required number of web servers Increases end to end performance while reducing costs Try our Web Check tool on your site! 300Kb 1Mb 18
Augmenting Application Security Data Center Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) Protection to block attacks and unwanted traffic 19
DDoS Attacks Threaten Online Business 2 Zombie machines send traffic with spoofed IP address of unsuspecting site 3 Servers resources are consumed until servers cannot process any more connections 1 Attacker infects Zombie machines Resources are consumed until equipment cannot process any more connections 20
aflex Flexibility: Easy Redirection of URLs Request Redirection Provides a simple way to provide redirect In this example users are redirected from www.a10networks.com to www.a10networks/oss/signup.php when HTTP_REQUEST { if { [HTTP::uri] equals "/" } { HTTP::redirect http://[http::host]/oss/ signup.php } } 21
Ease of Use and Management GUI (Graphical User Interface) CLI (Command Line Interface) Fewer screens and steps for tasks Industry standard CLI Intuitive and easy to use Easy to use, comprehensive help 22
