MAHWAH, New Jersey, January 18, 2012/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --

    Radware [http://www.Radware.com ] (NASDAQ: RDWR), a leading provider of application
delivery [http://www.radware.com/Products/ApplicationDelivery/default.aspx ] and
application security
[http://www.radware.com/Products/ApplicationNetworkSecurity/default.aspx ] solutions for
virtual and cloud data centers, today announced that its Alteon Virtual Appliance (Alteon
VA(TM)) [http://www.radware.com/Products/ApplicationDelivery/Alteonva.aspx ] and
vDirect(TM) [http://www.radware.com/Solutions/Enterprise/Virtualization/vDirect.aspx ]
plug-in are now certified for Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization
[http://www.redhat.com/virtualization/rhev ] 3, which is available today. Radware is the
first provider of application delivery solutions that fully integrates with Red Hat
Enterprise Virtualization.

    Alteon VA(TM) for Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization is a fully functional ADC solution
packaged as a virtual appliance running on the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization
Hypervisor, powered by KVM, and is fully certified for Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization
environments. It provides an application-aware approach to deploying and managing
applications that is designed to support an application's SLA and provide full
availability, maximum performance and security and enables enterprises to extract more
value from IT investments in Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization environments. In addition,
it offers health monitoring to automatically bypass failed resources along the transaction
path, local and Global Server Load Balancing to route requests to the most available
server, and application acceleration such as SSL acceleration, caching and compression for
faster application response time.

    vDirect for Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization, the industry's first ADC management
plug-in that integrates with the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization API, streamlines
workflows related to the provisioning and maintenance of Alteon VA in the Red Hat
virtualized environment. By automatically synchronizing with the dynamic Red Hat
Enterprise Virtualization virtual machine changes -- such as VM provisioning,
decommissioning and migration -- vDirect offers alignment of Alteon VA configuration with
the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization environment to simplify operations and reduce risk
and costs.

    "Mission-critical applications and services running in Red Hat Enterprise
Virtualization environments must be highly available and deliver excellent performance,"
said Navin Thadani, senior director, Virtualization Business at Red Hat. "With the launch
of Radware's ADC solution in connection with our release of Red Hat Enterprise
Virtualization 3, our customers can not only address these challenges, but also deploy and
manage their mission-critical applications together with an advanced ADC service on one
consistent virtualization environment."

Virtualization and vDirect for Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization represent the first fully

    Alteon VA and vDirect plug-in are part of Radware's Virtual Application Delivery
Infrastructure (VADI(TM)) architecture, which transforms computing resources, ADC and
virtualization services into an integrated, agile and scalable on-demand application
delivery infrastructure. It is designed to bridge the underlying hardware resources and
cater to the various application needs in terms of service level agreements (SLAs) and
performance predictability, while delivering agility to the application delivery space.

application delivery control plane, enabling easy and simple migration between the
different ADC form factors, according to the dynamic performance needs of applications.
