Radware Partners with VMware, Bluelock to Deliver a Virtual ADC Service for the Cloud

Radware's Alteon VA(TM) is the first virtual ADC appliance integrated with VMware's vFabric(TM) Application Director(TM) and is compatible with VMware vCloud(R)

MAHWAH, New Jersey, August 27, 2012/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --

    Radware [http://www.Radware.com ](R) (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 it has integrated Radware's Alteon VA(TM)
with VMware vFabric(TM) Application Director(TM), a hybrid cloud provisioning solution.
The joint solution
[https://solutionexchange.vmware.com/store/products/alteon-application-delivery-controller-28-1-5-service ]
is featured in the beta release of VMware Cloud Applications Management
Marketplace
[https://solutionexchange.vmware.com/store/category_groups/application-management? ] and is
validated to run on private, public and hybrid VMware vCloud(R) environments.

    Radware's Alteon VA is integrated with VMware's vFabric Application Director, designed
to simplify the creation of application deployment topologies across hybrid cloud services
through the use of application deployment blueprints. Radware customers will be able to
deploy their Radware Alteon VA in any VMware vCloud-powered private, public and hybrid
clouds.

    Radware also announced it has partnered with enterprise cloud computing provider
Bluelock to offer Radware's Alteon VA service to Bluelock's end-user customers as a
virtual ADC switch for customers using vFabric Application Director. Radware's Alteon VA
blueprint was developed using a hosted instance of vFabric Application Director on
Bluelock's cloud infrastructure working closely with the product team.

    By leveraging VMware vFabric Application Director
[http://www.vmware.com/products/application-platform/vfabric-application-director/features.html ]
, customers can easily select and automatically provision Radware's Alteon VA as the
ADC component for their virtual data centers and applications. Using a drag-and-drop
canvas, application architects can construct an application blueprint for deployment that
can be used on almost any type of cloud. With Radware's Alteon VA pulled directly from
Bluelock and other standardized cloud libraries, and an extensible catalog of ready-to-use
application infrastructure components and scripts, it takes just minutes to compose an
application that can be fronted and accelerated by Radware's Alteon VA in the cloud.

    "Working with leading-edge cloud infrastructure and management companies like VMware,
and leading cloud hosting partners like Bluelock, is proof that Radware understands what
enterprises, carriers and other businesses need in cloud-enabled ADC and virtualization
solutions," said Gilad Zlotkin, Vice President, Virtualization and Management Products,
Radware. "Moreover, being certified for VMware vCloud, vCloud Director(R), and now
integrated with vFabric Application Director(TM), Radware is uniquely positioned to
deliver the widest range of ADC and virtualization solutions to support those cloud and
hosting providers especially those committed to VMware's data center technology."

    Bluelock, a leading VMware vCloud data center service provider, facilitates a true
hybrid cloud approach for IT departments and business units seeking choice, platform
compatibility, and a proven cloud partner that focuses on each customer's unique
infrastructure needs. It has a strong commitment to VMware and traditionally has been an
early adopter of VMware vCloud technology.
