Radware and Mellanox Technologies Combine Technology to Enable Mobile Carriers to Leverage Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) and Software Defined Networking (SDN)
Collaboration between Radware and Mellanox enable extraction of network information to detect and protect against security threats in real-time for a more resilient and cost-effective mobile network
MAHWAH, New Jersey, March 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Radware [http://www.radware.com ](R) (NASDAQ: RDWR), a leading provider of application
delivery and application security solutions for virtual and cloud data centers, today
announced a collaborative effort with Mellanox(R) Technologies.
Combining its Application Delivery and Attack Mitigation Security solutions with
Mellanox Technologies' 10G and 40G NICs, illustrates an innovative ability to extract
network and application information that can be translated and leveraged to a scalable
solution for detection of various security threats, in real-time.
This unique solution not only permits a more resilient mobile network while enabling
the Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) initiative, but it also allows a
cost-effective, better-utilized mobile operation by eliminating high CPU overhead and
performance hit associated with vSwitches. In addition embedded switching and SR-IOV
technology results in accelerated performance and improved security, isolation, and
scalability.
By using an OpenFlow interface to manage the embedded virtual switch, operators can
now monitor and control traffic in real time, and through a standard control interface.
Enabling to deploy end to end Software Defined Networking (SDN) solutions, the unique
solution provides mobile carriers with highly secured, resilient mobile service operation
and cost-effective mobile cloud services.
"Our ADC and Security are field-proven products that are already deployed in various
virtualization environments. By integrating Mellanox's industry-leading and high-bandwidth
solution offers mobile carriers to drive their NFV and SDN initiatives," says Avi Chesla,
chief technology officer, Radware.
"Mellanox is a leading 10/40GbE server, storage and embedded communications
interconnect provider and a key contributor to SDN and NFV forums," says Amir Prescher,
senior vice president of business development at Mellanox Technologies. "By integrating
solutions with Radware, we can provide mobile carriers with clear business benefits and
unique value at the application-level through the integration with a NFV-based
infrastructure."
Radware and Mellanox's offering to mobile carriers was designed to employ the virtues
of both SDN and NFV, enabling easy adoption of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) server
infrastructure serving both the network level and application level needs, respectively.
Furthermore, it can also enable different mobile carrier and mobile cloud use-cases
including elastic application delivery, mobile security, and more.
