Accelerate Applications with Alteon Application Switch

Alteon Application Switch provides breakthrough performance, advanced application acceleration capabilities and on demand scalability needed to effectively meet contemporary network and business needs. Specifically designed for the majority of enterprises and carriers that operate in dynamic, ever-changing environments and face diverse requirements, the Alteon Application Switch provides the extendable throughput they need from 0 to 80Gbps for unparalleled scalability, business availability and performance.

Breakthrough Performance Delivering Best Quality of Experience

Powered by state-of-the-art, custom-designed hardware platforms, the Alteon Application Switch ensures the best user experience and fastest response time for your mission-critical applications, resulting in effective, continuous business operation.

The beating heart of the Alteon Application Switch is the Virtual Matrix Architecture (VMA), a one-of-a-kind technology that unleashes the power of Alteon's next-generation proprietary platforms. VMA is a fast, robust, and flexible architecture embedding multi-CPU and multi-core components, which leverages the entire system's capacity while providing the parallel performance of distributed processing resulting in linear layer 4-7 scalability.

Integrated Application Acceleration Capabilities

Alteon Application Switch delivers 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, enhance response-time for best Quality of Experience (QoE) and mitigate security risks. By offloading processor intensive operations from servers, Alteon frees the servers' CPUs to handle additional requests, eliminating the need to buy additional hardware in order to support application processing requirements and reducing CAPEX and OPEX.

The Alteon Application Switch is validated and certified by leading application vendors such as Microsoft, Oracle, SAP, IBM. When operating Alteon Application Switch with Microsoft SharePoint for example, the response time of SharePoint servers is accelerated by 350% and the servers' CPU load is reduced by 40%. Similar benefits are achieved with other popular applications.

Application acceleration capabilities have greater importance in virtual data centers where applications suffer from increased latency caused by virtualization infrastructure. Alteon reduces applications latency and improves QoE of virtual applications.

Intelligently Embedding Radware's 'OnDemand' Infrastructure Approach

By embracing Radware's "Pay-as-you-Grow" approach, you only pay for the exact capacity currently required and prevent over-spending on the initial solution. Throughput capacity, acceleration capabilities and application-aware services can be added on demand to meet new business requirements - with no forklift upgrade of the device and without restarting it.

The "Pay-as-you-Grow" approach enables you to overcome capacity planning challenges and reduces the risk associated with data center growth for best investment protection. Thanks to platform standardization and simplicity, there are two platforms to cover all application needs resulting in fewer spare parts, and less training and operations, to dramatically reduce OPEX.

Same Alteon OS

Alteon Application Switch utilizes the same Alteon OS. This means there are no learning curves — related to operations scripts, CLI, integration to environment, network topology considerations — so that you can immediately enjoy the same renowned ease of operation and stability, while obtaining new benefits.

5-Year Longevity Guarantee Coupled with World-Class Support

Radware exclusively provides Alteon customers with a 5-year platform longevity guarantee. This enables extending the Application Delivery project lifetime, which directly translates into reduced TCO and higher ROI.
