Radware's high-performance Alteon 10000 ADC delivers the highest virtual ADC density on a single platform with separate, isolated virtual instances for each mobile data service
MAHWAH, New Jersey, September 4, 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 a leading global mobile telecommunications
provider has purchased its Alteon
[http://www.radware.com/Products/ApplicationDelivery/Alteon/default.aspx ](R) 10000
application delivery controllers (ADC) to help the carrier meet the explosive growth it
has seen from customers using smartphones and mobile services, while at the same time
consolidating its ADC platforms. The agreement is valued at over $1 million.
The mobile operator - an existing Radware customer that maintains one of the world's
largest mobile carrier groups - has seen huge demand for its mobile data and video
services as a result of the skyrocketing use of online mobile services by subscribers,
involving both smartphone to Internet and smartphone to smartphone traffic. To address
this, the operator needed a solution that would help it not only deliver greater
throughput and on-demand scalability to manage unpredictable spikes in data traffic, but
also consolidate its ADC units to reduce its data center footprint and lower the cost of
ownership.
It chose the Alteon 10000 because of the ADC's carrier-grade performance superiority
that also supports ADC virtualization with the highest virtual ADC (vADC) density in the
industry -- up to 256 vADCs on a single ADC platform. This allows the mobile carrier to
extend its virtualization of ADCs across its data center and consolidate legacy ADC
devices into fewer platforms - reducing both the required data center space, electricity
and cooling costs, as well as simplifying the day-to-day operations for significant CAPEX
and OPEX reduction.
More importantly, it enabled the operator to adopt a virtualization program using a
deployment model for creating a separate, isolated vADC for each application, enabling a
virtual data center computing environment with flexible, independent and secured
configurations that avoid over-provisioning. This allows the carrier to deploy new
services faster than before and better align its ADC services that require frequent
configuration changes. Consequently, the Alteon 10000's separated, tailored configurations
further ensure security and service level agreements (SLA's) by design, resulting in
greater cost reduction and simplified operations.
"As carriers experience unprecedented growth in areas like mobile data, video and
other services, the Alteon 10000 platform can help them cost-effectively support more
services and users, scale throughput, and reduce their data center footprint without any
hardware replacements," said David Aviv, vice president, Advanced Services, Radware. "The
Alteon solution allows this operator to deliver more with less hardware without
compromising resiliency, agility and the simplicity that is required in the dynamic,
ever-changing virtualized data center."
More About the Alteon 10000
Radware's Alteon 10000 is a high-performance, Advanced Telecommunications Computing
Architecture- (ATCA) compliant ADC that delivers on-demand, extendable throughput (up to
80 Gbps.) of application delivery capacity
[http://www.radware.com/Products/ApplicationDelivery/Alteon/default_TechSpec.aspx ] while
allowing users to run the industry's highest amount of fully-isolated vADC instances on
one consolidated platform.
It delivers breakthrough performance in terms of all Layer 4 through Layer 7
performance metrics, including 11.2 million requests per second via UDP and 2 million
connections per second via TCP, while supporting up to 44 million concurrent connections.
As a result, the Alteon 10000 supports more traffic and more applications to ensure best
quality of experience with fast response times. Also, with 15 ports of 10GE / GE (SFP+
pluggable optics) and additional 8 ports of 1GE (copper), the Alteon 10000 provides an
extensive ports offering and a wide set of connectivity alternatives. The 6-slots chassis
of the Alteon 10000 accommodates 4 payload blades, each providing 20 Gbps. of throughput,
up to a total of on-demand, scalable 80 Gbps. All the chassis blades are hot swappable,
allowing replacements without stopping the entire chassis.
The Alteon 10000 also provides a wide set of application acceleration capabilities
including SSL offloading, Web compression, caching, HTTP multiplexing and TCP
optimization. These capabilities are designed to offload servers, address server
performance issues, and enhance response times for the best quality of experience for
users and to mitigate security risks. By offloading processor-intensive operations from
servers, the Alteon 10000 frees the servers' CPUs to handle additional requests. This
eliminates the need to buy additional hardware in order to support application processing
requirements thus reducing capital and operational expenditures.
The Alteon 10000 is a key technology enabler for Radware's Virtual Application
Delivery Infrastructure
[http://www.radware.com/Solutions/Enterprise/Virtualization/default.aspx ] (VADI(R))
strategy that transforms computing resources, ADC services and virtualization services
into an integrated, agile and scalable on-demand application delivery infrastructure.
Moreover, Radware's 'pay-as-you-grow' approach allows users to scale the solution capacity
and services to address evolving business needs using simple license updates. By
eliminating forklift upgrades and application downtime, it reduces overspending on the
solution for true investment protection.
