Radware Unveils New Network Cloud Platform to Provide an Application Provider-Edge and Advanced Attack Mitigation System for Mobile Carriers
New Solution powered by the introduction of high-capacity, carrier-grade Alteon 6420 application switch and recently launched DefensePro x420 series
MAHWAH, New Jersey, February 25, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
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 the release of a new solution designed to
address mobile carriers and cloud providers' current and next-generation requirements by
offering a unique Application Provider Edge (Application-PE) and Attack Mitigation System
(AMS).
During Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona, Spain, February 25-28, 2013, Radware
will unveil Application-PE which provides an application-level demarcation point in the
mobile control and data plane frameworks and offered on Radware's new carrier grade, high
capacity application delivery cloud platform, the Alteon(R) 6420.
Designed to meet the challenges that carriers and mobile service/cloud providers face
with massive growth of Internet, over-the-top (OTT) video and mobile data traffic,
together with the increasing adoption of long term evolution (LTE), Radware's new solution
offers intelligent control over mobile data and applications enhancing service
optimization and customers' QoE, while supporting integration with various mobile
ecosystems including network virtualization and cloud-based architectures such as Network
Functions Virtualization (NFV) and Software Defined Networking (SDN).
The new Alteon 6420 serves as an Application Provider Edge (Application-PE) to provide
an application level demarcation point in the mobile control and data plane frameworks. It
provides transparent traffic steering and control for mobile web and applications based on
payload, headers, AAA and other policy enforcement interfaces (e.g, Gx) including header
modification capabilities to support various mobile use cases. Additional new capabilities
include optimized data delivery over radio access networks (RAN) and monitoring/presaging
tools such as application performance monitoring (APM).
"When determining the right solution for a mobile network, carriers not only look for
reliability but truly demand a scalable, cost-effective, and secure solution that is able
to keep up with their capacity growth," says David Aviv, vice president of advanced
services, Radware. "We strongly feel our new network cloud platform offers the perfect
balance to their needs while moving into cloud based ecosystems," added Aviv.
Highlights of the new solution include:
- Network Cloud Platform - 80Gbps virtual platform which allows multi-ADC
tenants (up to 28/96) for flexible configurations based on any logical partition with
built-in 4x40GE ports for high mobile traffic loads. Utilizing Radware's vDirect(R)
automation and control API's, automated control over the Alteon 6420 platform virtual
resources can be granted and synchronized with upcoming new cloud based architectures
(NFV) aligning ADC and security resources with virtual compute and network
environments.
- Application delivery control utilizing high-speed Layer 4-7 Proxy technology
empowered with a policy rule engine for intelligent and optimized mobile data delivery
- enables flexible decisions, user and policy awareness, and header modifications
controlled by AppShape(TM)++ scripting interface for highly customized use-cases.
Demonstrable performance superiority in all layer 4-7 metrics including support for
SSL 2K keys.
- Mobile Web/Applications Optimization for improved customers' QoE and optimized
delivery over RAN- including transport layer (TCP) optimization (congestion based)
adapted to the mobile RAN conditions and new tools for application performance
monitoring (APM) for complete visibility enabling proactive decision making.
- Comprehensive attack mitigation and deep flow inspection (DFI) - with up to
40Gbps of security inspection, 25M PPS DDoS mitigation, and anomaly/real-time
signature generation to ensure complete mobile security at the network perimeter,
service perimeter by mitigating network DDoS, DNS, IMS, and Advanced Persistent
Threats (APT) attacks. These capabilities are utilized to provide improved visibility
for mobile traffic (DFI) with exporting interface towards policy engines (PCRF).
In addition, the Alteon 6420 provides a comprehensive security attack mitigation
framework to protect mobile networks and data centers against high-volumetric DDoS and
server "low and slow" attacks. The new solution will be available at the end of March
2013. For more information, please contact a local Radware reseller
